Essay 3
"When I teach I try to demonstrate to students how complex race and ethnicity are" Dr. Richards said. This quote is significant to me because to me this shows that there are people out there who still care about knowing others's races and ethnicities before really getting to know each other, which in my opinion is very wrong because it is not right to judge others based on their race or ethnicity because there are all different kinds of people all over the World, in every country.

DeleteI agreed to Mr. Harrison's idea of makeing the DNA test because this is when he found out exactly what percentage of eah race he has. This test is really good for anyone who would like to know exactly what percent of each race they have. #2

ReplyDeleteI was un familiar with the fact that there was a DNA test to show you exactly what percentage of each race you have. This is a great idea because when people realize how much of each race they have exactly , this could certianly help stop discrimination.
ReplyDeleteDo you thin that they would be many people surprised by this DNA test, once they take it ?
