10. Quite frankly

I see racism AND sexism in the very words they used in the display.

"Racism: the black mans burden and the white mans shame"

Racism exists against hispanics, asians, Middle Easterners and all others without lily white skin. And the use of the word "man" rather than a less gender specific term is obnoxious. It may not seem like much but words DO convey ideas. They should be used carefully.
