Gianna Radoi,
USA.
People think that being white means you are American. I am second generation, born and raised in America, but my parents are from Europe. Sure, they fled communism in the 80’s, but for a better life. Things did not always come easy for them when they started new lives here, with only the money they had in their pockets, and the clothes on their back. Their skin color did not change the way they worked or the way they were treated, nor does it benefit them now. Being white does not have an impact on my work ethic nor does it affect my grades in class. We still struggle because we are human. If anything, I would like to apologize that I am white. I cannot do anything about my skin color, but we can all change the way we look at others based off of their skin tone. CBU HIS311
