Can you do anything about racism?

Firstly, society can choose to acknowledge racism and not treat it as either a nonexistent or passing problem when it is far more serious than that. Secondly, it can educate the ignorant where much racism is rooted, and lastly, society can come together to stop a problem that affects their fellow man and woman so harshly. Too many only want to do something about a problem when it directly touches on them, and don't realize that though racism might only indirectly affect them, it affects them nevertheless and should be handled as any major problem affecting any group of people should.
