Discrimination in NYC
Last friday, March 28th, the juniors all had a trip to either Hunter or Columbia University. I went to Columbia. During our tour around columbia campus one of my peers was dancing. Playing around really. It was nothing big or neither anything inappropiate. Another tour group that happens to pass us made a statement to one of our teachers. The statement that she made is "I'm scared of the safety of my kids." the reaction had was shocked. Her kids was much older than us none of us was acting in any misbehaving manner where someone should be scared of us. I didn't understand what was going on. It took me a couple minutes to understand i had just experience discrimination. The most suprising thing about all this was that it happened right here in New York City. What a shmae!!!
