Cultural differences are something that many disagree on because it is not “normal” to not be American and white. Skin color has nothing to do with where you belong. As we read in our book, many were discriminated against simply because they were “interfering” in the territory. It doesn't matter if you are white, rich, owning land or whatever, you have arrived in a new land that was not yours and therefore you are not welcome. I have strong opinions on this subject because I have lived it every day of my life. I see this happening first hand and it's something so mind-blowing because you wouldn't expect things like this to happen. The courage of some people to do what they do is incredible. Being able to spend time talking with these people was a moment that I will cherish forever, because you never really know what someone has been through. You never really know someone's story until you take the time to sit down and talk with them.
