HyunJu Ji: Let's talk

Race is the one topic that's probably even more taboo in polite company than sex.
- Talking about not talking about race

I totally agree with this statement. Even me, myself, hesitate to say loudly about race.
Actually, althought I need a help of writing center for Eng2f I hesitate to bring my writings because of its subject.
I don't know why I am hesitating to show my writing in public even I'm not a racist.
Maybe, I am afraid of considered as a racist.

I have met a gentle man who are African-American. We were talking about each family and he told me " I'm the only person who has a dark black colored skin and culrly hair in my family, they have bright brown color. But it's not bad because I don't need to care about a sunburn". I was so surprised about how he mentioned about those sensetive subject in public. If another person who are not black told about that joke it may occured severe problem even the person is not a racist.

The U.S.A is the biggest multiethnic and multicultural society in the world. It means the U.S.A is a nation made by so many differences. However, people in the U.S.A do not want to talk about their differences. Historically, the U.S.A cannot say 'I'm innocent about racism', however, it is something strange to keep silence about race even someone who are not a rasist. I think problems are came out from that silence. For resolving a certain problem, a conversation is required and for the conversation we should start to say something rather than keeping a silence.
