Racism, Politics, and The Law
Here’s something you should know about at this time. Even younger high school students (freshmen) are not like our country’s conditions. That is sad. Find out about a little something on our country here.
America has gone through a lot these past eight years. We went through terrorist attacks and threats, a war still going on, economical downfall, almost in a recession, corruption in our government, and like always racism. Actually today racism is more wide spread because of rumors, security, self-protection, and the government meaning our laws and politics going on in the country. In my report I will present you with the summary of what 5 freshmen (9th grade) said on this topic. I have asked them three questions:
- Do the laws and politics of this country affect racism in this country? Why do you think so?
- Do you think the war affected this issue?
- What would do if could to help out this situation?
Here are summaries of there statements:
M****n- He thought it does affect racism, because now many brown people such as those who wear turbans are being discriminated, Muslims are being looked down upon and being called terrorists. He said it was because of this war a race is discriminated by what others in the race are doing. He mentioned that if some other country was at war with us then we will discriminate them. He said the only way to lower down all this racism was is we ended the war.
M*****w- He also thought if affects racism in the country. He did not refer this war, but WW2 where his race, which I will not name, was discriminated greatly, and also after the war. He said that in general wars bring up racist acts in our country. He told me frankly that ending this war would just make it worse since they will discriminate those who lost or whatever even more, and people will blame others for stopping it.
A*****y- Once again he said they do affect racism. He said that many people he knows are called terrorists or told go blow up a building. He thinks all brown people especially those who wear turbans or are Muslim are looked down upon even more then the others. He thinks that if the war ends then within 2 years at most these racist things against brown people will stop. He thinks if he can do something he will stop the war so his race (my race) won’t be discriminated anymore, of course there will be some people here and there he said, there always people like that in the world.
