Pluralism is the idea that instead of punishing the author of bigoted words, bigoted ideas are criticized believing that even a single racist makes society racist and that bigotry does not will be tolerated in any way. Pluralism believes that “there will always be racists. Marginalize them, ignore them, exploit them, ridicule them, go to the trouble of making their policies illegal, but otherwise leave them alone” (Rauch 574). This line of thinking resonates with me and I wish it were a possibility in our society today, but it isn't. Racism is still rampant in America, and there aren't just "some" racists. They are everywhere and many of them control many institutions in this country. I can't fully commit to the idea of ​​pluralism until we get to the point where only a small percentage of Americans are racist, but we haven't gotten to that point
