Hidden Racist, and Racist

Subject: Hidden Racist, and Racist

All my life I have had to stand in line, and over looked, while someone behind me got served first. As a Korean American, I'm still over looked, out numbered by Latinos, and African Americans with louder voices and powerful lobby's. My children are mixed, white and Korean, I'm forced to choose between one race or the other when registering them in school. I ask to mark both, and told I can't.

Why should my children give up one side of the family for the other? Another subject matter that needs to be looked into. My subject matter is one of importance to me, I would rather know someone is a racist, than someone who only pretends to not be one.

Case in point, Senator Lott and Senator Byrd...known racist and has made statements to the fact. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakkhan, known racist. We all know that.

But Bill Clinton, we've heard the rumors and what his wife has said. Yet to this day we haven't heard a peep out of the media establishment of outrage.

Senator Kerry, wants Lott to resign, yet not long ago, the whisper was he made lesbian jokes to Clinton while at lunch. Selective hearing and outrage from those in the media. I'd rather know where someone is coming from, than a hidden agenda of racist behavior, and selective outrage from those who are racist.

You see, the places I've gone to, where I was overlooked because of my race, I don't give them business and make sure I tell everyone else I know. I no longer stand in line and take it, I let everyone else standing in line know how I feel. My daughters will grow up learning that there is a time to stand up and be heard.
