I’m sorry but it wasn’t me.

Margaret Hayes,
Hopkins, MN.

I went to a school that had a large minority student population. I always loved and was proud of my district because of it’s diversity, but for many years I was personally victimized and frequently bullied because of my “white-ness”. When many students saw my skin color they personally blamed me for all of the horrible traumas their ancestors had to endure due to ignorant racism. I truly feel bad for these things and believe that racism still remains a huge problem that needs to be discussed and fixed, but I singlehandedly was not the one who created all of these injustices.
