Overcoming Bias

A lot of people think that it is much fun and games when someone else is prejudiced and bias to another over their ethnic background. One example of someone being bias was when my whole family and I went to go out to eat at this fancy, elegant restaurant. When we got sat down there was a person immediately saying, “they don’t belong here”, and “who let them in here.” This is my favorite one they said “they should be cleaning houses or gardening.” My family was so disgusted and irritated with that person. We couldn’t even enjoy our lunch and no one even talked. Just because of the color of my family’s skin they thought that we were Mexican, but we aren’t we are Hispanic. My question for you is why do people get a thrill out of being biased
When my family and I was being judged by the way we looked at that moment we felt as if we were a citizens of America because of the way that person treated us. After we got done eating we were talking to each other saying “why do we let these little things get to us. We know who we are and no one else’s opinion should matter.” I then realized that I can overcome bias because I didn’t let what other people said about me knock me down. It shouldn’t even matter what people think anyways you are you. I treat people the way they treat me unless they are being biased then I ignore it. I’m not a bias person, if I ever were being bias toward anyone I would apologize right away. People should be equal to each other. If I see someone that is different from me I just say that person is unique. When I think back to that moment in the restaurant I think to myself why should the color of our skin or ethnic background matter than what’s on the inside. Basically why judge a book by its cover. People can continue their education and avoid the bias comments by not caring what others think or say about you. Just focus on the ultimate goal. One other thing to help continue their education is just focusing on what you want in life and achieve your goals. There will always be people out there that will judge you no matter what just ignore it. Know the worth of life that what I did. Basically what I’m saying is that people being bias
No one should ever be judged by what other people of the same race do on the news or television because they are one person out of a million. Which means that it’s their own actions and decisions on what to do. I recommend not taking what other people say or think to heart because its only hurts you in the end. You let the people get to you. You let them make an image of you that isn’t true to who you really are. Stand up for yourself if you have to. You are you for a
