This is the real "race" discussion

Oh, I mixed a blog up. this is the big race discussion blog *sorry*!

In my view, race is one of the most important issues in the United States because America is the most diverse country in the world. In the US, there are so many different ethnicities and races living together so most people who live here have to deal with this issue. “Race” is a subject which everybody has in his head and uses every day with stereotypes but nobody says honestly what he or she thinks about this issue. American’s are afraid to talk about this topic. Why is that, Americans should be able to talk easier than any other citizen from a different country because they have to deal with this issue than any other nation. In fact, most Americans avoid this topic and even fear it because of the history of the country. People are always concerned what other people might think, especially about “race.” When people express their opinions related to different race’s, they always fear that other people think that one is a racist or that one does not stick to his routs. So it does not matter how one deals with this topic and what opinion one has, it can always be misinterpret. From my point of view, the main problem is that people are too much concerned that they lose their “good reputation” and that they do not want to hurt anybody but this does not break down the walls of “race” separation.

I agree that this is a huge issue in America. It is kind of ironic that we are the most diverse country in the world but we seem to have the biggest issues with accepting race. People are just so afraid to truly speak their minds on this topic because they do not want people to look down on them.

Haha, Okay I read your blog about racism and when I got to the part where you wanted everyone to know you were straight I could not help but laugh. You are so goofy Michael.

Well, I think that it is harder for us to discuss race because we are so diverse. Countries that are not diverse can speak of race with ease because they are not diverse and they do not have many influences of the differences of races to discuss. U can not have a discussion about something that you do not know about.
