Topic
Racism in sports
Research question
To raise awareness of how racism affects the sporting world and how it is not taken seriously.
Why you want to write on the topic?
Racism is a way of discriminating against others because of their race. Minority races in countries are more likely to be racially abused. Being a sports fan myself and still playing a sport, I have seen many cases and forms of racism towards people of specific races. Sports should be a way of connecting and bring others together so no racism should exist.
What genres you might use?
