Judgement. Racism. Discrimination.
Judgement.
Racism.
Discrimination.
All of which immigrants have been a victim with,
based solely on the way they speak.
Judgement.
People all around me always make assumptions.
Automatically they dehumanize me.
They assume just by the way I speak that they are better than me.
Who are they to believe that they are superior.
Although I may not speak perfectly, I am trying.
Racism
People all around me make assumptions.
Automatically they believe I am the typical immigrant stereotype.
They assume that I came here to take advantage of all the opportunities.
Who are they to judge me.
Although I may not be perfect I am trying.
Discrimination
People all around me always make assumptions.
Automatically they treat me differently.
They assume after I say a few words I don’t know anything.
Who are they to judge me.
Although I am not perfect I am trying.
Countless times i’ve been told its not perfect but your getting there.
But in all honesty who defines perfection?
Perfection Noun. a word with Three syllables.
A word that will never be compared to the way I speak English.
I am different.
I am Unique.
I am an immigrant who always have my roots inside of me.
Racism.
Judgement.
Discrimination.
Have all shaped me into the person I am today.
