Jasmine's Homework

In both the movie and the packet, we see blatent examples of how minority groups have been discriminated against beginning at a very early time. Seeing the video personally shocked me. I am African American and I feel as if it is awful how badly we were treated because of something that we simply have no control over. In the video, i was taken back by the scene where the ethnic man loses his citizenship because his race is no longer considered to be caucasian. The man later commits suicide showing the dreadful effects of such a flawed government/system. In addition, i was also shocked by the fact that the courts definied being caucasian as something that can only be decided by a caucasian man. To me this is just outright ridiculous. It was a way for the opressors to continue opresssing the minorities, and it seemed as if they felt they had the right to do so. Do you agree with the quote “Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.”? Or do you believe that that we should just let our government fix this problem?
