Jobs are all about working hard but racism and discrimination still happens in the work place, school is all about education but racism and other forms of discrimination still happen in schools, Hollywood is all about acting but racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination still happen there, talent shows are all about the talent but, am afraid sweetie, racism and discrimination still happens there.
