Presentation Reflection

I learned from one project presentation from Fuad and Andrew about immigration came out to be interesting. Some students that he interviewed came out to target mexican people as immigrants and one was just came in mind about mexicans and the other seemed to say that immigrants shouldn't be hear and he also started making racist jokes about making the border higher and so and so on. Most of the students laughed at these stupid jokes and in further in the interview the person being interviewed said, "Not to be racist but they should really make the fence higher". This project showed me that many students are ignorant and think it is funny to make fun of inocent people crossing a border to have a better life. Other than that that event opened my eyes to do something about it and this issue on mexican jokes is no different than the oher racist jokes people tell.

I understand what you are saying about how some people's reactions to the immigration issue. Many times, people don't think "outside themselves" and consider the people around them. Hopefully through more discussion about racism, we can come to a better understanding amongst the various ethnic and racial groups. Good post.
