After months and months of preparing for the big race, the day had finally come. It was a perfect summer day when Ronald Raptor and his friends Tiffany, Travis, and Barbra strolled up to the Blaze’N Race’N Track. However, someone else was on their way, too—a mean, green T-Rex by the name of Tyrone. Little did everyone know, Tyrone was jealous of Ronald. According to Tyrone, Ronald is successful, Ronald has friends, Ronald is cool, and perhaps most importantly, Ronald beats Tyrone in the big race every year. “This year will be different, for sure,” Tyrone thought, an evil smirk blooming across his face. “This time, I have a plan.” Across the lanes, racers started their engines. “3… 2… 1… GO!”(5) In a matter of seconds, the dinosaurs were around the bend. Even before the race began, everyone knew it would be a two-man match. They swerved in and out, and the fight for the lead alternated every few seconds. “I’m going to beat you today!” Tyrone shouted, flashing the same little smirks as before. “Not a chance,” laughed Ronald as rounded the second curve, leaving his main opponent in the dust. 200 meters left.

The social construction of racism and the feeling of superiority to people of other ethnicities, have been distinguishably present in European societies as well as America throughout the last several centuries.
