The Thing Persecute Does

Norman Mineta is the person who disagreed of Racial profiling. This was a government's policy after 9.11 to tighten the inspection of the Arab and Islamic people in the airport security system.  The general director of protecting the sky saying this acquired large backlash by people in America. But Norman Mineta claimed "Not all the Arabs are terrorist and being Arab doesn't mean being a terrorist. Turn one's wrath against Arabs is not the thing we should.". This concept was based on his experience. 


During World War two, Norman Mineta lived in America. And in that time, America made a concentration camp for Japanese and Norman Mineta lived in Heart Mountain Relocation Center  until the war ended. All the Japanese are sent away to the concentration cam which was placed far away from the town. From this experience Mineta thought this shouldn't happen again. He never sell out his will. He didn't want to let this happen again.


He fought for his own will and for eliminating persecute. Of course if some thing happens in our own country and the criminal was from other country, you might be scared of that country's people. But that doesn't mean you can persecute them. Every human has same authority and no one can change it. What ever the reason is people shouldn't discriminate each other, they should respect each other and that makes the society work.


Additionally it is important to fought for because persecuting people will destroy their cultures and it is too late when you notice it. In Japan, people lived in the Middle island persecute people lived in North island who were called Emishi. They started a war and killed people and that destroyed lots of specific culture that they had. Now in Japan people are trying to figure out about their culture but many of them were gone by the war. Persecuting people will effect the future.


But if you didn't reflect enough with your will it will be just a applesauce, that doesn't make sense. You have to think carefully without any of your emotion and think from third party's view. 


Norman Mineta told us how important fought for your own will and eliminate the persecute. If he didn't act up to his will maybe the Racial Profiling was actually started. By knowing Norman Mineta, i thought I want to be a person who can act up to my own will. But it should be after you reflected enough. Other wise it will be just a applesauce.

  1. Yukiko, I liked your topic on how people shouldn't be persecuted based on where they come from. It made me think of how stereotypes can lead to this kind of discrimination, and how this happens because people are unwilling to accept people who are different from them. While reading your post, I was slightly confused at certain points about what you were trying to say, such as the 'applesauce'. I think you could have explained more on what you were trying to tell the reader through your metaphor. Finally, I understood your topic and what your main point was, but I think you could improve your post by clearly stating what you're going to talk about in your thesis statement in your introductory paragraph.
