After watching “A Conversation with Asian Americans on Race” I see that many Asian Americans, regardless if they are East Asian, South Asian or Middle Eastern or Turkish are discriminated against. They were chastised and ridicule for their race, heritage, ethnicity, ancestry, nationality, religion and culture which was very bleak for them. Being called names and racial slurs from a young age, even from other kids their own age is cruel. They were mistaken for other races such as Native American, African American and Hispanic\/Latinx and received the same prejudiced as those groups of people were just because some of them have brown skin and someone asians are called yellow as well. They are forced to believe that they need to assimilate with White\/Caucasian\/European Americans so that they will fit in better. White Americans from early times and still now today, mostly from the south have absolutely no qualms about spewing hate and ignorance to Asians and all other cultures just because they are different.<\/p>\n
Watching “Race the Power of an Illusion” people are judged based on the color of their skin. It is unjust, no one deserves to be treated that way. The day and age we live in now people need to learn to stop being so awful and bigoted. We need to break the cycle of hate. We weren’t born to steal. People are taught to hate and this needs to change in America as well as the rest of the world we live in. I am truly ashamed to watch and here such atrocities in the media as well as real life from my own experiences as well as my friends as family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
