Tourism in France

France is known to be one of the most popular places to go to for tourism. Tourism in France helps the country because it raises lots of money from tourism alone. The country has many attractions that would make someone want to visit there. It makes me want to visit there someday.

Parody Video on immigrants

I came across this video on youtube on a comedy cartoon about immigrants coming to America. In the video, they were talking about different issues about migrating. Although this is a comedy short video, but it could be offensive to some sensitive individuals. This video could represent any one who migrates into another country. This video is for people who has a large sense of humor only.

Immigrating illegally

This short article talks about how the presidential candidate Rick Santorum considers all undocumented immigrants to be criminals. Immigration should be carefully monitored because it could cause all kinds of problems in the society. If immigrants keep coming into the United States without any documents then they are a ghost to the system. They would not have to pay taxes or anything like that, which isn't fair to the citizens, and this is just one of many things that could happen.

Acceleration on Immigration

This was an article about acceleration on immigration. It shows that this could be dangerous. It involved terrorist that were trying to become citizens of the United States by getting married to a current citizen. The tried to have easy access to the country, but they were busted. They could have caused trouble if they made it to the United States and becoming citizens as terrorist.

House We Live In

This video contained a few issues that i can recall. It is a shame to be recognized as a generic race rather than the actual race that you are. A person from Japan would not be noted down as Japanese. There is a standard that the government went by when identifying the race. Also it also discussed the hardships of blacks to whites. One lady discussed how they could not buy a house that was around other whites, because of her skin color. Whites were seen to be superior over the blacks. If any whites accepted the blacks, they were looked upon as being different.

Mixed Blood

In the United States, you have many different racial groups. One racial groups meets another racial group, and that makes a new mixed racial group. Then that mixed racial group meets another racial group, then we have a double mixed racial group. This could go on and on until a person is mixed with 15 racial groups. I am sure this is happening somewhere right now. The article demonstrated the cultural basis of race by comparing how races are defined in the United States and Brazil. Its amazing how the mixed girl could switch her race from black in the United States to to brunette in Brazil by taking a trip there.

White Priviledge

In some cases, white privileges does exist.Some of the points that the author writing the article were true, and some of the points were an opinion. One that I know is true is, " I am never asked to speak for all people of my racial group." I never heard any white being ask to speak for all whites. I have heard of blacks speaking for all blacks though. One of the points that I thought was only his opinion was, "I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me." This is false. There will always be someone in some neighborhood to dislike someone else. If their are blacks that dislike whites then there could be problems. Also there could simply be a white that dislike a white. Everyone on this Earth is not friendly.
