Besides the economy, racial identities have been one of the largest social constructs in the United States. For certain reasons, it is still difficult for individuals to remove physical biasism against others.

Some causes of attaining physical assumptions towards other people are due to childhood experiences (what you were taught as a kid) and the specific environments enlisted in; as in the city, the South, or suburbia. For, growing up in New York City is drastically different than growing up in a small town in West Virginia. One pure example is the diversity difference between the two.

Despite the fact, when one goes to college, there is fresh opportunity to begin a diverse social life. Although, on most university campuses, many times similar cultures and akin physical appearances link with one another. For example, most sororities and clubs are separated by religion preference or how you physically present yourself and then, in turn, how you fit with the other members. Just this year, a female student at the University of Illinois was denied access to a sorority simply because of her hair choice.

It’s normal for parallel groups to wish to be with others who particulate to the same struggles and/or cultural background. Although, if groups continue to separate themselves from physical appearances, as some may see in sororities, classrooms, and simply by just walking on campus, there will be no difference established when it comes to the on-going separation and lack of inclusiveness that society sees in everyday situations. These everyday situations could be placed in the general workforce or social events like parties, galleries, or sites like local cafes and restaurants. Also, politics and different states around the world.

In a study conducted last year, it was defined that a student who was listed in an Asian American sorority will most likely spend their time with similar individuals of the group rather than experimenting with other people from other places; simply because it is easier and more comfortable for him to interact with people just like him. A kid from a Chicago suburban admitted once that he assumed that he would have a harder time communicating with someone from the South Side of Chicago simply because "they would have nothing in common". He was regarding to both their difference in skin color and past hood experiences.

The core problem of this dilemma is assumptions made on others, as well as the fear of nuance and change. Some may receive assumptions based off of skin color or the clothes that some wear (like a Hijab, traditionally based dresses, or accents carried). Once individuals can diminish these assumptions and become aware of the stronghold bias possed, America may hopefully experience less injustice, covered racism, and the significant separation seen throughout the country.
