Racism in America

This image is just what is wrong with Americans in the present and from the past! The Caucasian race in America has always been very close-minded and racist without ever giving anyone a shot to show what they can do. This picture of this white woman from the 1950s shows a woman counting out EVERY Japanese- American, and discriminating against ALL without even knowing them. The woman is labeling the neighborhood as a white man's neighborhood and she isn't even a man. This goes to show that she doesn't care if she's still being mistreated by the white men but as long as there aren't any Japanese people in the neighborhood, she is happy.

There are no two sides to this picture. There are many races that are also indirectly affected by this photo. Along with the Japanese fearing for their lives other races such as the African-American, Jewish, Chinese, etc are also terrified and offended by this crude photo. The white side of this photo believes it is good to scare the other people and automatically label them as bad people. While all the other races are offended and upset because it goes to show that even with the help of all these races in creating America the powerhouse of the world, these rude people still don't give them the respect these races deserve.

This photo is very effective in scaring off the Japanese as well as other races. The Japanese were scared to live in that neighborhood because of the threat of death or mistreatment by the other racist white people in the neighborhood. The other races were also terrified because it is obvious that the woman in the photo has no respect for any race other than the white race. It is also effective because in the bottom it helps show that racist people do racist acts to offend and scare others.

This photo crossed the line for labeling ALL Japanese people as terrorists and bad people. It is not fair to those innocent Japanese that just want to live a happy peaceful life and stay out of trouble. With racist white people like this woman, it is very hard to live a peaceful life and stay out of trouble with racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, that terrorize minorities all over the world. Many Japanese people helped America expand westward and helped establish new towns and cities to help America grow and prosper. That is why this photo is controversial and ignorant!
