This I believe



I was listening to a recording about how a woman with an interesting story about her nationality, and about what her and her family went through. When she said people get treated a different way based on their nationality. From my own experience of feeling like I have been treated some way is when I would be up the suburbs and in line at wal-mart and the cashier was rude to me and tried to let a Caucasian person in front of me but my cousin intervened. It made me think that stuff like that probably happens everyday to any and everybody. Sometimes it happens around my neighborhood and some of the public places I go to like restaurants and amusement parks. Since I live in a mostly African American neighborhood you rarely see different types of nationalities, a few Caucasians and Chinese people but mostly African Americans. The woman’s story really interested me and informed me about how racism occurs everywhere and its wrong no one should have to go through that. Everyone was created differently but equal, so nobody has a right to judge another person because we all have flaws no one is perfect. I think it is a great thing she’s doing by standing up for people around the world and fighting for our rights to not have anymore racism occur and its making to easier for everyone and benefits us all to not have to worry about getting treated any way because of our skin color or being a girl or a boy.
