What I learned about ethnicity is that people from all over the world are still basically the same to me and I would treat anyone with respect not because it is mandatory but it’s the way raised and nowadays people just see things about different countries and only hear what the media has to say and not what a person of that race has to say. In October of 2017 I had a little side discussion side discussion with Professor Harris about how President Trump was discussing to the press about how people from out of the United States are coming here just to be terrorist and to just ignore the law and sell drugs and kidnap people but Trump was mainly aiming it at Mexicans. The way that this helped me this trimester was by being able to see that not to listen to everything you hear especially when its on tv and also when i’m in college lecture and there’s people from all over the world I will not portray people from what I hear everywhere. The way that this will stick with me not only through school but when I have a job and am working for a company for example if a man from a foreign country was to be working with me and I hear bad things about him I wouldn’t bat an eye I would just ignore all the things said about him still try to get to know

This was because I had a subconscious bias against them because my father had always told me that African American’s would hurt me because I was a European American female. Also culturally, European Americans tend to express opinions that African Americans are criminals, lazy, and beneath European Americans. One way that I will work to increase my cultural competence in this area is when I am placed in an uncomfortable situation, such as a discussion about racism, I will try and appreciate the difference between others and myself.

With the recent rapid growth of immigration in the United States of America it is common for prejudice towards a certain group of people to grow. This is particularly true when it comes to Mexican immigrants. With the recent political debates in full swing taking stabs at foreign policy, racial profiling and bias have increased significantly towards Mexican immigrants and their descendants causing prejudice towards them in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.

I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.
