XaviRoseMaiden's blog: "thinking , reflecting"

We are we so content... to not know about our culture ? 

Why are we so consumed in learning about everyones elses lives .. in media etc , than our own ... 

It feels like we don't value what we have right in front of us... 

The more i learn about other cultures , and how people live life differently from day to day ... 

 the more i wonder , why so few of us ... seek to learn more about our own ... 

When  comes from multiples countries , here sometimes they say mutts.... 

To me it seems like a way of devaluing where it is we came from ... 

Another thing i really dislike is being called an immigerant ... I'm an Australian American ... 

I've lived here and around Americans for over thirteen years... When will society here accept that fact... 

Or when will people stop saying ... if you don't agree with what i say ... in some kind of verbal argument... then go home ... 

This is my home damn it !.... 

Immigerants as you call them are people too .. actually they are Amercians ... like you ... 

Woring hard to live thier lives .. Just like you ... 

Doing the hardest jobs imaginable ... and then sensing monies back home to family over there ... 

Try walking in thier shoes ...

Before judging them ... 

Try to do what they do .. before casting the first stone .. 

I doubt you would like to ... 

If you have the patience to read the last line .. 

Remember this ... Immigerants are Americans just like you ...

And need to be treated as such .....

with dinity and respect ... 

We talk about equality all the time for animals , yet theres milions of people who are in dire need of it aswell ... 

Something to think about ...
