race relations

With all of the racial incidents that occured at the univerities, after the incident occured, it seems that the student body responded by coming together or creating groups on Facebook and Twitter. These students came together to express their views that they had on the sitution, and to share their opinions with one another. instead of sitting around and not doing anything, students at Michigan State University gathered together and let their voices be heard. they wanted to show the people/person that left the racist message that they wouldn't be phased by the incident, that by coming together, they would overcome it. With many of the older racial incidents that occured, it seems that many involved law enforcement. The majority of people in law enforcement are white males, which could seem to be slightly unfair and could lead to racial discrimination. Sadly, things like this are still happening today in America. I found the Panera article very interesting. I can totally beleive it because of my own experience working in a restaurant. One quote that I found really interesting was about women in the food business. “They would rather see pretty young girls.” Over the summer I applied worked for Tom & Eddie's, a new fast food burger place. Before getting the job, I thought I would be able to choose if I wanted to work the back of the house or the front of the house. Back of the house is the grill, and washing dishes. Front of the house is cashier, busing tables and serving the food. I soon realized I didn't actually have a choice, since i'm a girl, I was automatically given front of the house.
