Face the discrimination and prejudice from the society! (Soo Jin Park)

" yet a part of me, as I am a part of you." from "Theme for English B"

Due to globalization, lots of people's thoughts are getting change that all of the countries are the one. In the past, there is a strong racism. Now people think like that was unfair because people can understand each life style, culture and they respect each other.
The author insists that unreasonable racism in this poem. This quote means difficulty to change their prejudice. Although hughes talks about the racism between Black and white. However, it is not the whole things in this problem. Actually, there is still racism. in the world. I think it is also eastern-western issue. It is hard to solve, even if the world has changed positively.

East vs. west


Eastern-western issues are as serious as racism, and also very closely connected with racism. Since races also include all the races in eastern countries,if blacks are prejudiced, then so are other races.

Though I hope I can say you are too pessimistic, I am not optimistic over this issue. As you know, black people share the same language and culture with whites, they still are treated so differently, then to people with different cultures and languages, the understanding will be even harder.

You, international students, are actually the most important group who can act as envoy to smoothen the communication between east and west by bringing in more knowledge of east and west to all the people.

Now have you realized how important you are?
