Document Summary
Things have changed considerably from time back then. Not have gone to a place where we"re free and not judged by our colour of skin, our clothing, etc. By product of what we learn from the world. Doesn"t mean it"s right nor it can be changed. 1990s, tootsies, ethnic group in rwanda were killed in 100 days/. (1 million people killed in only 100 days. Compared to holocaust, where 6 million people were kill over a few years) Decided that the other group wasn"t good enough. The violence was not violent, stored were stolen from (owned by chinese people). 1-3% of chinese-indonesian, perception that they didn"t belong and blamed for economic crisis. (bias, prejudice) Islamic people wanted to build a mosque in houston in an unused area, none the less, people were opposed to it. Worried about traffic/drainage problems (excuse to cover the racism) if a walmart were to be there, people would most likely not oppose to it.
