Because there will be less than 50 percent people from European descent, the struggle will also arise for making English as primacy language.

My friend is a Chinese-Indonesian, and the first word or image that came to her mind when the word minority was introduced, is culture. Being a Chinese that lives in Indonesia, she has the privileges of learning both cultures. Both Indonesian and Chinese cultures, unfortunately, are very conservative, which is why she said she had hard times accepting the freedom in the White culture. She did not see her race as a minority, because she said, “Asian kids are the smartest, it is just our accent that makes us look dumb.” She also did not receive any racial discrimination before. She supported immigration, and her first image regarding immigration is of her grandparents as an immigrant because they move from China to Indonesia permanently in search

To illustrate his overconfidence, in one of his speech he vowed that “There will be no repeat of November 1918.” Hitler could not swallow the defeat of November 1918, which they became known as the "November Criminals" due to killing most of
Feb. 17, 2017 The night before my shift on Friday, I received an email from my program assistant about her absence because she would be out of town. The email entailed my project for my shift and which staff to ask for help if I need it. When I got to the office, I replaced the staff member who was at the front desk. When it was three, I received a call from Gail, a representative, who was asking if her 3 o’clock appointment was here yet. They were not and she asked me to knock on her door when they arrived. 5 minutes later, two Hispanic women came in for their appointment with Gail and I told them to grab a seat while I walked to let her know her clients were here. She was in a meeting with an intern and so, I peeked in through the side window and knocked on the door before entering my head to tell her that her clients were here. Walking back into the lobby area, I offered coffee to the mother. When I went to grab the coffee, Gail had come out to meet them and bring them to her office. She peeked into
