The wrong choice

       In the book, there was a scene where an arab man was being chased and having names screamed at him and things being thrown at him. People don't understand the rammifications of their actions today. They don't understand what they are doing to that man and his emotional state. They don't understand how idiotic they look chasing and screaming at someone who is just looking for peace. It disgusts me and things need to change or else this world will lose all of its morals.
       It is not like this is the first time a race has been persecuted for little to no reason. Jews were being hunted by the Nazi regime. Blacks were enslaved for over 200 years. Now arabs are being called terrorists and being shunned by society. It is an awful cycle that will not stop unless someone stands up and says something about it. We do not have enough leaders in this world anymore, only followers who are scared of standing up to society for what is right. Obviously not everyone is racist towards arabs, but the people who are just sitting there and letting it happen are just as much at fault as the people who are doing the persecuting themselves. Just because one man who was arab decded to execute an attack on New York, does not mean every person who is arab wants violence. In fact, many arabs are muslims and Islam is a religion based upon peace and treating others how you want to be treated. That doesn't really sound like a group of foolish terrorists to me. Every racist even those who target other races need to take a step back and have a reality check. People are people, it doesn't matter which country their from, all that matters is their character and their choices.
        No person should have to go through the fear that man went through just because of what they look like or where they are from. It simply is not right and it is not representing what this country was established on. Freedom and equality. Americans must take it upon themselves to stop all of this racism and be the first to lead a charge to end it worldwide. There is simply no point to it and it just shows how stupid and ignorant certain people are. I hope in time it changes, but at this rate it will take a lot of work. Do the most one person can and just end racism for yourself.
