Current Event: Berkely Bake Sale

A group of students planned a bake sale at Uc Berkeley the price of baked goods will depend on the gender and race. The prices for the baked sale was $2 for white people, $1.50 for Asian, $1 for Latinos, 75 cents for African-Americans and 25 cents for Native Americans and women of all races get a discount of 25 cents. They had this bake sale because there is a bill currently being considered by Govern Jerry Brown, which would authorize California public universities to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national geographic origin in the admissions process. 

It shouldn’t matter what your gender, race, ethnicity, and national geographic origin is cause we are all the same no matter what. By him doing this students may feel like because they are a current race they have less of a chance getting into a university. Some people may take this very lightly but its not a joke its reality and people like me who come across racism on a daily base is tried of being desciminated against. Not only African Americans, but Mexicans,and Asians and Native Americans. People are so quick to look at us and judge us by our color and put us in a catergory.Dealing with racism is not fun.People joke about it all day and make fun of people of different race. Until you have experienced racism don't take it lightly or just push it to the side. People kill themselves over being made fun of by their skin color. People like Michael Jackson wasn't happy with his skin color cause people made fun of him and he ended up bleaching his skin. Don't judge a book by its cover.
