 * __Racism, __**

One calm day, in New York, the sidewalks were congested with people minding their own business. Suddenly, a discordant shriek captures my attention. I looked up into the sky to find a gargantuan plane crashed against the Twin Towers above me. A moment later, the Twin Towers stumbled down creating a huge chaos. After this miserable tragedy in the course of 9/11, America discovered that this crash was plotted by the vicious mind of Osama. After that day, every naïve Muslim was poorly treated.

This is one example of racism, which extremely wrangles my mind. Racism is a huge aspect that brought malevolence among people. I declare that racism should be brought to a halt this instance, but sadly it will not. Racism is the cause of hatred in our world that causes war amongst races. Why did the terrorists attack America and Europe? And what about the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. Is it b/c they just felt like it? No! In my belief, racism exists because people consider their own ethnicity superior to others. Some races also assume they have more power than others. No, I don’t believe that; everyone is equal. Remember when there were elections with McCain vs. Obama? Why did the elections take so long? It was because America was hesitating between black and white. Can this be anymore racist? Of course, there could be a black president because everybody is equal. This is America, a free land. Thus, each race should have equal power.

Finally, my last motivation is that being racist is just plain rude. For proof, I can remember the time when I was at a camp in New York City and I was chatting with my friend. It all started like this: “So how long is your hair?” my friend asked. “It’s about this long!” I replied by showing him. Then, another kid showing an enmity against me, yells “How do we know it’s not a bomb?” This really angered me and I cursed him out loud. Now, everyone was looking and he was abashed, but he didn’t stop. “Well, why don’t you go back to your dad Osama?” he questioned. That hit me hard. Then, we heard something that sounded like gunshot, which was out of the ordinary, and he asked what was that. I couldn’t help it and I yelled, “Nazis are hunting you down!” I know what I said was immoral. But that was back then, now I am more mature and I should never be a racist even if someone else is.

To whom it may concern,

thank you for taking time off of your busy day to read this letter. i have been noticing that racism has consyantly flowing around public sckools. i would be pleased if you took some time off to observe these sins and to punish these wrong-doers until they stop.

first, people consider their own ethnicity to be superior to others. as a victim, i know that people make fun of others and think thta others religion is just a foolish joke. studies show that the heaviest burden of racism in this country has historically been Natives, african americans, jews, and many other immigrants. why?what ever happened with the whites? life was torture for those poor fellows. but you CAN change that, at least around your public school.

also, you cannot believe how many crimes have occured just because if racism. teens in your school may start becoming violent and if someone gats injured without anyone knowing, your sued. now, you dont want that to happen, do you? even though major crimes like forcible rape or murder stayed to a minimum but 2274 simple assaults were made in U.S. from 2007-2008. thats alot for just 2 years.

Finally, getting racistly abused just hurts the person from the inside. even though i have been strong it is a true fact that 500 suicides were caused by racism in 200-2004. even one racist comment can make a person make the wrong choice.

in conclusion, i hope you take this letter into consideration. just one question, if something violent occured in your school, what would happen to you? think about that first then MARK MY WORDS, you btter make a change.

sincerely, sukhpal singh
