Thinking More and More!!! (Bin Ye)

"long, long, long overdue" This sentence was said by a gardener at the first of article. At first I can't understand what does the writer means. Why did she describle the gardener?

Actually it is just a metaphor in the article. No matter how bedraggled of the tree and the died flowers in the garden. The gardener still can replay it and even do it better. But how is the overdue problem of racialism? Who can replay it? Who can do it better?

So in my opinion, we should think more and more about the problem of racialism before it became a overdue problem. Be personally, at first the government should handle the issue of the residence of people that contain the nonnative peoles and the foreigner, and the government must treat them equally. Actually, the most important thing is natives. Whether the natives and foreigner can get along well? Whether the natives have the race racialism. But we can do it regarding this issue. For example, now I am as a international student studying in America. Almost the racialism doesn't exist in my life, but it can not be unavoidable. Therefore, when I met this situation I will communicate with them and explain the difference just because of culture till they can understand my opinion and my behavior.
Maybe one people can change nothing. However, if all of the people on campus, all of the people in America and all of the people in the world do it well, it can change anything.
We should think more and more, do more and more!

Racism

As you said, the garden might be easy to restore, but the society with racism is really hard to revert.

If one sees people not as people, but in certain color, hairstyle, or with some language, then each person will be perceived as totally different from him. But if he stands back, and see him as a person, then he is no difference at all.

What is the best way to demolish racism? Just stand back and see everyone as a human like yourself. Then it's done.
