I will put it in another way; for example because there are Muslims and Christians in a biology classroom, the teacher has to be extra sensitive to not offend them (and their creationist tales) while doing his/her job. This shouldn't be the case.

wtf. Is that mandated by your school system, or is your teacher just afraid they'll bitch? Tell your teacher that they shouldn't be making accommodations for people based on their religion because that just hampers your own pursuit of knowledge. The minority should NOT be dictating the wants and needs of the majority and you can start in the classroom.

Yes, I am pretty sure American teachers are required to be very careful when it comes to anything someone could throw a shit fit about. Which is normally religion related when it comes to schools from what I have read in the local news.

The only thing America has going for it is the illusion of democracy. I am by no means racist/prejudice of any sort against any group of people. But the way all this "minority" BS is handled is just plain stupid.

I only think that people born in Africa and later move to America should qualify as African-American. If you were born in America, you are fucking American. Same goes for any other mix of races people come up with.

But no... this is how it is here.

My girlfriend has worked her ass off all through school, because she wanted to go to college from the moment she heard of it.

She had perfect attendance up until the middle of her high school time (when she realized she could miss a lot of school and still get A's).

She had the highest grade point average possible (5.0), including weighted "honors" classes.

Never got in any trouble in school, or out for that matter.

When the time came to go to college, she got a full ride scholarship, and some extra money for books each semester. To keep it she has to keep a pretty high grade point average.

But her friend from high school, who had a lower grade average, and didn't work nearly as hard to get to college... also got a full ride scholarship, but nearly twice as much extra money each semester for expenses, and only has to keep a grade point average that is the equivalent of C's and D's... Why? Because she was Mexican... even though she was born and raised in America.

The minority rules here in America.

I say we are all equal, there are no race cards to be played. You reap what you sow. Granted some are born in wealthier families, they can lose it all. As can a person born into poverty find a way to become rich.
