Prejudice

I agree with Ken Hamblin I think that minorities sometimes segregate themselves. I do think that race can count against you though. But at the same time other things can count against you as well, such as clothing, age, sex and religion. However, I believe that no matter what obstacles people are faced with, they can overcome them. We have many examples of Americans that have risen above prejudice including: Ben Franklin, Malcom X, and Martin Luther King. Minorities might have to work a little harder but they can definately do it. The separate graduation at Texas State for minority students is a perfect example of minorities separating themselves. Some students brought up in class that if white students did that it would be a huge deal. It is true white students would be called racist. Minorities get away with seapareting themselves from the majority and it is not fair that they can get away with it.
