What would Jim & Huck think?

I think if Jim and Huck looked at our society today they would be more content with the drawback of segregation. Now I am not saying that our society has become a Utopian society and every race is treated fairly. Although it has improved a lot compared to the society Jim and Huck experienced. The stereotypes of whites and blacks still play an effective role today. For example jobs/careers, for certain companies have either racist or non racist head chairs and they determine the job availabilities. If they are run by white men and you are a colored person trying to get a job although are competing against a white man who might now have as much knowledge and qualities that you have more then likely the white man will get the job. Our world just isn't perfect.
