Current-EY

Recently, a big swastica was spray-painted on the door of a man's business; files were thrown everywhere, and written on the file cabinet were the words "GO HOME". This was a man who has been a citizen for the past twenty years, but now he is origanally from Afghanistan, some people think that he no longer has the right to live here. Churches are still being burned down and people are still being harrased and threatend because of their race. All the destruction and himuliation has been caused because of their skin color or their religious beliefs. People are being persecuted for their religious beliefs in a country that prides itself on allowing it's people to make their own decisions as to what faith they want to practice and how and where they want to practice that faith. This is a current issue that not only this specific person is living, but many others and in many other ways. This person is being discriminated because he's from Afghanistan, but that doesn't mean that he is a terrorist. This is what was happening in the novel Huck, but in this case because he was from Afghganistan. It's still a way of being racist.

Another issue in todays world is the racist that is being used with illigal immigrants. It's also a good example but not a perfect one. Many Americans want for illigals to leave their home. I know that maybe they think that we immigrants want to take their home away from them, and maybe I would feel the same way if they were invading my home; But the thing they should understand is that we came here to triumph and to have a better life than before. We are respecting and treating America like if it was our home, because practicaly it is because we are living from it and with it. An example of a group of racist and prejudice are the "Minute Man" this group is trying to kick us out of here. And some of these people are ignorant, with all the respect, but maybe one quarter of the minute man group was an immigrant, and know just because they are American citizens they think that they are "white", and thats just wrong because they know how hard it is for us to deal with all the racism thats going on around the world. My opinion is that people shouldn't be racist or prejudice against "ANYBODY" we are all the same, we are humans and thats how god made us all. The color of our skin, the religion that we believe in, the race that we are and the "low or high class" that we are in doesn't make us different, we are all created equal.
