Don't let discrimination be the last wall between people

Discrimination is so ingrained but vulnerable.

When coach first arrived in McFarland, he would unconsciously think that this place was a hopeless place;
when he had not yet entered the school, he had tacitly assumed that the students here do not seek progress. Cause trouble;
when the wife's car breaks down on the road, the woman who pretends to come to help has bad intentions, and even sweats for the safety of the wife;
when the cross-country team members quit because of their parents, they think that the immigrant parents do not understand the language and cannot communicate .
. . .

But this is not the case.

When you wear glasses of discrimination, you can only see what you want to see;
and when you take off glasses of discrimination, you can see the truth;
and we should believe that the truth should be beautiful and full of hope .

After reading McFarlane, in
addition to inspiration, I
feel more introspective.

McFarland, USA quotes

  • Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods.

  • Maria Marisol: Welcome to McFarland, Blanco.
