Racism... it discusts me.

Let's start off my first blog with something that is easy to talk about. I'm not the best at choosing a subject, but I think after I have my topic I am well equipped to back it up.

Now, racism... Read my views on it, then let me know what you think on the matter.

How would you like it if people judged you before they even knew who you were, before they knew your name, your age, before the even knew you existed? How would that make you feel?

I for one, know that that would make me feel horrible about myself. Then again, that may just be due to the fact that I care extremely about what other people think of me.

I am ashamed of this, although it brings back quite hilarious memories, I used to be slightly racist towards the Chinese. This was because of how they talked, the way there eyes were, and so on. With my age came knowledge and understanding, enlightenment towards the fact that I was judging these people just due to their culture...it was wrong, it was injust, it was detestable. It was discrimination.

When I was younger, most of my jokes were based on something about Chinese people, though I never had anything in particular against them as human beings. I just want to appologize for that... I'm really sorry, to all you Chinese out there. I was a horrible person, hopefully I've changed for the better...

With that, this ends my first blog... Hope it didn't bore you to much. I'll likely get better at it, with time...
