The Darkness

Racial discrimination still exists in these days with the institutional racism which is described groups of people against certain groups of people to limit their privileges. America is a country that has more than one ethnic and everyone is different to each other, such as in culture and religious belief. In the past, I have seen many groups of people are discriminate to other groups based on their color, ethnic and personal identity. In my middle school and high school age, people have their own a specific group such as Asian people will join Asian groups, Hispanic people will go to Hispanic groups, and same with African American groups. Because of these dispensations, people are going to dislike other groups because they desire to hold the ability to command others and to limit the others rights. People need to have different kind of friends so they can find out more about the others culture, religious beliefs, and stop the hatred toward other ethnics.

When I was in middle school, I was faced a bunch of racists because I’m Asian and I do not know English. Since then, I only played with my Asian group and we barely talked to other people, because in our eyes, other people are different to us. Therefore, other groups of people are always trying to make fun of my group such as tinny eyes, or Asian accent and so on. In the article “Civilize Them With A Stick “ by Mary Crow Dog and Richard Erdoes, they talk about how light skin people have better privileges than dark skin people. White skin people consider themselves as higher class and they see black skin people are lower class than them. Moreover, most white people are wealthy than black people, and because of that the society respects white people more than black...

...e is some people are suicide because of the institutional racism and they cannot stand against it. Everyone in this world deserves to live in peace, safety and they should stop the rebirth of racism.

Everyone always has good or bad experiences in their life. I had experienced in my middle school about the institutional racism. People say words that are inappropriate to others in school and treated them worst as a homeless. I’m the one victim in that kind of game that played by racist people. People like to make fun of others based on their race, color, culture and others. The world needs to end the act of racism and stop using the words that are offend to other people. Words are power that a heart can be mended or broken. Words can affect a person for a life time, make a threat of an action and watch how people prepare just because those words were spoken.
