When I was reading more about “Identity politics,and there was a quote that states ““Identity politics” is a very vague phrase, but it generally refers to the discussion of and politicking around issues pertaining to one’s, well, identity. The focus typically falls on women, racial minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and religious minorities, such as Muslim Americans. All the social issues you may have heard of in the past several years — same-sex marriage, police shootings of unarmed black men, trans people in bathrooms, the fluidity of gender, discussions about rape culture, campus battles about safe spaces and trigger warnings — are typically the kinds of issues people mean when they refer to identity politics.” (By German Lopez) it made me realized that what we be showing in the tv are totally wrong, there are things that you can only believe when you experience it or see it yourself, I know that all country have their own problem but I think the richest of America had blinded lot of country because whenever I say explain something to my friend back in country they always have a weird reaction saying what can go wrong you are in AMERICA! The richest country and everyone dream I be like sure but nit lot of people have that privileged and I don’t really blame them because I have that same mindset until I came here and experience the racism and discrimination especially as a muslim women, people will always make you feel that you don’t belong.
