1.     I knew about racial relation in U.S by the movie “Gone with the Wind” when I was a child. This movie gives me a deep impression. The rich white southern planter and poor black slaves. But in this time, I don’t really realize racial relation because I haven’t touch with it.  I got further understand with racial relation was when I come U.S. Many people are discussed about it.  I am aware of racial relation is a very big problem for U.S society before, and always had many prejudice and discrimination between black people and white people. But now, this situation is improved.
2.     I am interested in Amy Vanderbilt’s recall. “Children uncoated in prejudice and class-consciousness enjoy people for what they are. As they mature, our society soon sets them right as to their place in it. More often than not, they accept this place without question, and thereby shut themselves off from warm human contact with many of their fellows.” He said. We should know the bad human nature, such as prejudice and discrimination is none exist. We accept something by our living environment, both good and bad.

3.     I knew about racial relation early, but I didn’t know it’s so severe before.  Since I saw the movie named “Django Unchained” in last year, I just know how black people had suffered. But I know we never image or feel the true injuries that those people had sustain. I just hope we can make our society better and all estrangement and prejudice can fall away.

  1. Pioyan, it is interesting that you mention "Gone with the Wind." I also saw it as a child, a long time ago! It made a deep impression on me, too. I didn't see "Django Unchained," but heard about it.

    I also appreciated Amy Vanderbilt's remarks. it reminds me of a song from the musical "South Pacific" which starts"You've got to be taught to hate and fear..." and contains the same idea.
