Narrative on Social Diversity and Multiculturalism

Both of these terms are very similar in my opinion. Social diversity can be defined as the diversity of our society such as race, religion, and culture. The United States can be a great example of this definition since this is a country of many inhabitants . Multiculturalism is just the traditions and blue prints of a group of people. This definition is more in depth since it deals only with culture. Things like food, area, traditions, hobbies. and lifestyles. Social diversity is very important because if everybody can understand each others lifestyles then there will be a better relationship amongst all of us. I believe the most interesting is race. There is still separation amongst us humans, this separation makes hate. Hate that will be passed on from this generation to the next.

There are many social and political figures that will influence, but for me it was my mother. My mother has taught me that people are different and will not get along. But we don't have to be like them we could be different and ignore the hate. In my opinion my mother taught us the best she could, though she wasn't there for us all the time. Now that we are older we are very thankful how we were raised. In high school my friends and i were a very diverse group. During lunch the whole school would be categorized football players, cheerleaders, the blacks, the latinos, the actors, the whites, the nerds, the asians, the soccer players, the goths, the skaters. But not us. We were very diverse with nerds, actors, skaters, blacks, whites, football players, latinos, it was great! I thought we had a mutual understanding and didn't have problems like the blacks and latinos. Ignore all that and we could coexist happily.

Racial discrimination is the most interesting for me. Today's people follow stereotypes, base those stereotypes on all races. Not all mexicans are lazy, not all blacks love chicken, not all whites are racist. Those who look different should not be considered less human. This issue has been going on through out our history and must be stopped. There have been wars and genocides because of race. There are racial superiority groups, segregation, and ignorance. This problem may never go away, but it starts with each individual. We pass this to our kids and their kids until we eliminate race discrimination. This issue effect me because I am romantically in love with a girl who is "white." There is no acceptance on her side because I am brown. Not all "mexicans" are assholes and lazy, I pray for acceptance.
