Not Getting My American Dream

Haley Wheelon,
Camas, WA.

I am the “white american”, the majority and the priority. I hope someday to own a white perfect 2 story house, with a white picket fence in a all white neighborhood. I will be a stay at home mom with 2 boys, Luke and Levi, and a golden retriever, Max. For fun we will go to the all white park in our neighborhood with all the other white boys are girls, meanwhile my husband works a comfortable job with flexible hours, great pay and little competition for his position at work.
This is what the whites expected in America, they wouldn’t accept anything else but this. They considered their “american dream” ruined when immigrant came to america. They saw them as corrupting their white neighborhoods and schools, ruining the american culture and taking jobs. The immigrants didn’t ruin the american dream for most, it was their own arrogance that did.
