I’m white. How can I help?

I feel that as a white American I have the ability to help and I want to help. I also feel that there are many bad ways to help that don’t improve anything. I want to make a positive change, I don’t want to put my mind into something and have it be negative. This is why I ask, How can I help? I want to help make a positive impact, I need to know how to do it.

I love being in the minority

It may not all be sunshine and rainbows when you are in the minority group, but it has its benefits for sure. I am a Hispanic young male and let me tell you, I have been exposed to many new and different experiences because I am within a minority group. I am within a science program that recruits minorities because the main purpose is to get minority groups into the STEM fields and the program itself has exposed me to many new and different things. There are more to being a minority and you can’t let the hurtful things get to you, focus on the positive, ya know?

THE COLOR OF MY SKIN ~PRICELESS~

I am bi-racial and I’ve experienced racism from both sides(black and white). You don’t always realize in the moment whether something has an impact on you, whether it be negative or positive; eventually in some form you will feel it. Only you can determine if you’re going to allow it to shape who you are…I refuse.
