The reality of it all is that even with a minority President who truly knows what he is doing. The respect for different cultures, diversity, the fairness is still not their. When we are disrespecting and treating each other wrong, we try to rationalize and try to justify how we treat each other. The truth is people will never do what’s right, and fair unless you constantly watch them and penalize them, for breaking the law. Oh but then they change the law. With all of the regulations, policies and procedures in place, people still discriminate. They use more subtle tactics. They blame you for what they have done. Then the system is so clogged with complaints, and not enough staff to investigate, so only the blatant violations are identified. We need to educate the public more and more and more. Expose the companies and corporations.

It’s people like you that make anti-discrimination laws necessary. “Extra credit”? That’s a joke! All anyone wants is an equal playing field. People who discriminate still exist because they are the same people that sent Ishimaru’s family to an internment camp by painting everyone in the Japanese race as the enemy in this country. Get a clue!

Well, we could hold whites to higher standards in college admission, and give extra credit to blacks and el hispanico/as because of their skin color and their parents’ accented speech. And then we could ice the Affirmative Action cake by labelling Asians as “over-represented minorities”, and try to hold them back as much as we do whites. That might teach people that it wasn’t that long ago that discrimination and segregation were legal and acceptable in this country, hayna? Or no?
