DREAM Act’s Defeat Spells One Family’s Imminent Loss - Page 2

He has no criminal criminal right? Why should he be deported? Other DREAMers got to stay.

Exactly. The Harvard kid was Mexican.

My point is that there have been deportations involving DREAMers who were of another ethnicity/race/group (whatever term you use). When it's a brown kid (Latin American), many groups jump on board to help him/her out.

When it's a kid who is not of that descent, these same groups may not jump on board as quickly. They may not even ever.

It really sucks that a lot of groups are divided when supporting the Act, based on "race".

I don't think many of us can deny that certain students do get more attention and rapid help when facing deportation, or predicaments of the like.

Yeah, it's really terrible that all the races being affected by their status hasn't come together in full circle for unity. When it all comes down to deportations, it's every race to himself, and usually Latino races will win, since they are the most populous.

Yeah, it really is, especially the Brown and Asian groups. They seem too separate when fighting for the Act.

Although I am Brown myself, I still am not blind to the manner in which certain groups tend to cater to the same race. It's very sad.

I try to work it out by attempting to get clubs (of diff. races) at my school to work together, but racial division is embedded into our minds through childhood as we group up in this American society where it is a norm.
