Outro: People look at me and think, What is she? They try to give me a classification, a racial group but become baffled by my tan, yet not dark enough to be 'black' skin. People make stereotypical judgements about me before they meet me. Once they find out I'm part asian that opens a whole new door for jokes, racial jokes. They find it funny, but I find it ignorant. Don't they remember that we are equals? People who make jokes like that either don't know the struggle their ancestors endured or don't care about the hard work and many years that went into it. My father didn't want me to be part of them.
1. I can't exactly say that I chose this opening and ending combo. I just kind of wrote what sounded and felt right. I think It makes sense to introduce myself and the topic intertwined and outro it with myself and the topic intertwined bu t with my personal part dominating the intertwined-ness.
2. My ending ties together my big ideas becuase well my big ideas were that discrimination is wrong, you should be educated about ur past, etc. I think the outro ties together my main ideas because it includes both my big ideas and how I am involved with them.
3. I hope that when people are done reading my work that...
-They will stop and think before they call others by racial slurs or other types of mean names
-Think about their elders before they defile or disgrace what has been done for so many years to get whatever their racial group (in my case black/vietnamese) to the place that they are now
-To stop telling me to go make them bok choy. This might sound like sarcastic but it is a serious thing, people think just because I'm asian I can just go and make all this asian style food and they don't even realize that Bok Choy is a vegetable...
-To use their brains a bit more often before speaking.
-Stand up for others when they see acts of discrimination happening even if its minor. little things always lead to big things.
