I see it every day. And it is really sad to me. &quot;White&quot; people want to hollar that they are so much better than everyone else and they couldn&#39;t even tell you a proper defintion for the term &quot;white person&quot;. The fact is, we are all Americans&#8230;we are from all over the world and are in a nutshell a country full of migrants. Personally, I am predominantly American Indian, mixed with Norwegian, Irish, and probably several other things that I am not even aware of. So&#8230;am I &quot;white&quot;, though? That is what society has labeled me as, but on what grounds? That is the downfall of labeling what race an American is. We are all a mixture of races, unique in our own ways. Society should learn to embrace the beauty of a person, not their origin or their color of skin.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 23:22:25 -0800 (PST) From: Miranda Subject: Letter to the Editor I am a &quot;white&quot; girl who lives in southern Georgia, so I know about racism.
