today in my government class we watched a film on prejudice and racism throughout history.
it had a big effect on me.
seeing photos and different situations in that film gave me a better understanding of what really happened in history. racism/prejudice is what led to the holocaust. its what led to the many hate crimes against african americans. against chinese americans. against mexican americans. horrible things happened to people of different races.....with legal american citizenship.
five minutes after i had walked out of class, i hear a kid yell across the school, "you stupid mexican......" (i'm not even finishing this sentence. it disgusts me)
i don't understand how people can be so cruel. i see people say things like that and it really frustrates me.
eight hours later, i am still fuming mad.
has the world not learned a lesson from all of the mistakes people have made before us due to racism/prejudice? no matter the color of our skin, the religions we believe, or the way we are,
we are all human.
nothing will ever change that.
