Yesterday I went to homeroom, which was kinda unusual being that FCAT testing was over last week. Well it turns out that the state of Florida was told by the federal goverent that they need to find out how many persons of Spanish decent are in the classrooms, so they left it up to the counties to deal with. So, I was given a form where I have to bubble in (with number 2 pencil) if I am Hispanic (which I am quarter Equadorian) then I have to bubble in if I am Alaskan native, White (which includes north Africans but not south), Black, or Asian pacific islander. I thought this was stupid, I was not he only one. Though it gets better, I have to prove what I say I am, so I have to take it home and get the damn thing signed by my mother.
I don't get it. Our homeroom teacher said that it might have some thing to do with funding cause there is federal money out there that is marked specificaly for persons that are Hispanic, which is true, but what makes me angry is that we are raised to not be racist and to be color blind then the same people that try to stop out racial profiling pull this shit and ask you if you are a certain race and if not what are you. This is what they did in Nazi Germany. They pulled the same shit in Rwanda in '93 planning for the slaughter of the "cockroaches" in the 100 days of genocide in 1994. What the he'll is going on? At least they are just doing race and not sexuall preference.
