Change IS Inevitable


My colleague, Tori Thompson, has made a good argument as she agreed with one of my mine. Tori states in her argument that whites in Texas are becoming the new minority and the lingering discrimination is still evident. When are the people of America going to wake up and come to reality? After all, it is the 21st century.

I, one-hundred percent, agree with Tori on how our government needs to realize our country and state comes with more than one ethnicity. Being Hispanic, I can completely relate to this. The world does not revolve around the Caucasian heritage as it did once before. The fact that it ever did is absolutely unjust, inhumane, and brutal. We need a government that is going to support its citizens and listen to their opinions, regardless of change.

The majority of Texas is not a part of the “change” fan club. Most people want to keep and sustain the “traditional” way of living, like Tori said.  I never understood this, but why can’t other individuals see that we are all equal? Change IS going to happen, regardless of what everyone in our state thinks. It is already happening. Why is it horrible that Texas is becoming more diverse? Ignorance has to stop and acceptance of change has to begin. Change is inevitable. We should and deserve to have an open-minded, accommodating local government to protect and serve us. Texas history proves what great lengths we went through for our state to be recognized.
