Understanding and Awareness

Nicholas

Racism is something I don’t encounter very much as a half Spanish and half Jamaican person.  People tend to look at me as one or the other and not both.  But what I think is that I have a friendly face and I give people a smile to compliment the look.  Maybe this isn’t much of a story, but one comes to mind.

 

One day my friend and I were at a bus stop.  We were sitting on the grass.  A police car stopped at the red light.  The officer rolled down his window and asked us what we were doing.  In response, my friend and I said, “Nothing.” and then they drove off.
