Jessica Martel: Her Witty Remarks Against Racism

After the recent events that happened at the UK Constitution Day celebration, Jessica wrote a wonderfully sculpted remark to what happened. I read through her article and Jessica clearly and firmly shows her views on the issues of Racism in the 21st century.

She goes on about how race is simply just a word for someones skin pigmentation. Jessica specifically said this in her blog, "The fact that this argument is still considered valid, that it is still needed against Anti-Semist, Islamophobic, racist, sexist, supremacists in modern-day society is absolutely disgusting! We should no longer have any need for that, yet we do, because some people still insist on having the racial/sex/religious divide!" I agree fully with what she is saying in this and I am disappointed to say that I see this type of behavior in my own family.

It is truly hard to live in a society where we can not simply accept each other as we are. We are all human beings and our differences are so small that they should not matter. I have just recently been exposed to this in our very own school, duPont Manual High School.

Lastly I would like to point out that Jessica perfectly shows that the racist issue in the 21st century is absolutely absurd.
