Is Everyone trying to "white?"

After all of the years dealing with discrimination and trying to rid of it, it is still seen in our society today. Because there is a variety of races throughout the United States, people feel as if they have to live as Americans. For example, one from the Asian race may come to the U.S. and go to a school filled with Americans. Because there is a small number of their race in the school, he or she may practice the American ways while at school, but when they return home go back to the ways of their race. Why is this? Why can't everyone be comfortable with their race and be accepted?

  1. We can't accept everyone because some people are just different. It's isn't necessarily skin color or ethnicity, it's the actions and personalities of these people. They are annoying and sometimes piss people off. A great example of this can be found in movie theaters across America. Every movie theaters has that one guy that talks aloud during the movie in an obnoxious way. Typically, this person is black. They tend to say, "Oh Hell No!" or "Oh Damn! Damn N***a!" This annoying outburst merely breaks the principle of silence during a movie. It's not the skin color that we discriminate against, it's the action, dismissal of manners, and rudeness.
