Honestly.
I am going to try an explain something, so please do not judge, for i do not consider myself racist AT ALL!
I grew up in a public school system mixed in with many minority students, i have been friends with many african americans and i know many middle eastern people the same age as myself and i see no difference in them at all besides religious preferrence and perhaps social status. I grew up as an upper middle income child, i work full time durring the summer and attend college for the rest of the year.
However i went to the mall of america today and i was disgusted. All of the minorities i saw that walked the halls of this hell hole of a mall were as we call it "ghetto". They all wore color and pattern coordinated clothing, they all spoke rudementarty english and my god in under an hour me and my friend "mike" were verbally assaulted because we looked at a black man when he was walking past. I am sorry, but anyone wearing a gigantic fat albert face as a sweater is yearning for attention, and yet when they get it all i get is grief. Why is it that soo much of the middle and lower class citizens of the country must fall into the stereotypical roles that they do. I mean come on, it is not as though these clothes come cheap, they are, as a matter of fact, more expensive than some of the hollister, j crew and soccer jerseys i wear, and yet with an apperance comes an attidude, for the most part of the people that i have encountered that have come off as a scar on society have been "minorities". however when you look at the statistics according to the most recent census, me, a middle class, white, single male is now a minority, so why is it that with affirmitive action, and all the social welfare plans in place in this country must (for instance) a black man choose a path of the ghetto thug as opposed to the go-forward single businessman that they could be?
I am sorry if i come off as an asshole, but the fact that people abuse the past in order to bitch about the future has created a growing resent for those that neglect the system. Most of these people have the ability to move ahead, i have personally seen it happen, so why dont more people embrace it?
