The Generic Post Concerning Race

Everything ive done in class from the movie i watched, the discussions ive had, and the articles ive read have really made me take a step back and think hard about race and how depictions can really shape the minds of entire populations of people. You would think that something as harmless as pancake syrup wouldnt have anything to do with race or racism. However after that movie, it really makes you wonder, where else this happens. Maybe its because ive grown up in this decade, but i dont see it nearly as bad as it was. Im sure with some investigating i could uncover some examples. Last i checked aunt jemima still was around.
