9/26 missed blog post

On 9/26 we discussed the American Born Chinese reading assignment. The story is about an american born asian kid who moves to school to an area where there aren't many asians so they all believe he is a foreigner and bully him. This story deals with the theme of racism and bullying. I really liked this reading because i can relate to it and it almost mirrors my childhood. Im an american born mexican, and i went to a catholic school that was literally all white, mainly italian and irish. I was one of the only hispanic kids and i remember i would also get bullied by some of the kids for not being white. I found it very difficult to make friends at first, and i would always hate going to school for that reason. Just like in the story, it did get better over time, more hispanic kids came to the school and i made friends over time. i would still encounter the occasional racist kids, but they didn't bother us anymore.
