As "whites" in America we really do not understand the discrimination "non-whites" experience. If it had not been for a job assignment that placed me in situations to investigate the discriminatory practices against minority groups (not just "African-Amelricans" and "Blacks"), I probably would not feel so passionately about this. A young man from Pakistan was dragged from his car and savagely beaten, just because he took the wrong exit on the highway. A group of self-identified "red necks" wanted to ," teach the sand nigger he don't belong here," the ring leaders statement. This happened BEFORE 9/11/2001. As this young man revealed his story, and his scars, it was just too much for me. Can you imagine what is happening post 9/11? That was just one story, there are others!
So Maureen, and anyone else who thinks I should laugh...it's a not a joke, this is no laughing matter. As the population of immigrants who do not look like us increase, and we become the minority, let's just hope for the best.
