Face to Face Response
My response to the way we as Americans treated the Muslims after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001 and the treatment toward Japanese Americans after the bombing on Pearl Harbor was horrible " Get off my porch you dirty jap!" one woman screamed at a young Japanese woman named Satsuki Ina. This gave Satsuki nightmares and it might just give me some nightmares as well. I am just outraged by the fact that American who are supposed to stand for equality for all and is not standing by that. I feel in order to have a snowballs chance in hell at ending racism we as people need to understand that we fear what we do not understand everyone needs to take the time to understand the point of view of others even if we don't agree with their opinions. We need to understand that not all Muslims or Japanese people are bad every race, religion and country all have bad people who want to cause harm it does not matter if you are Caucasian, African American, Muslim, Spanish or Asian every single race on earth has bad people who do not want to do any sort of good for their nation. To judge a group in its entirety based on the decisions and actions of a small percentage of the people of the group make is a good way to show just how ignorant some people can be.
