I enjoyed reading everyone's setting post about Packers story. Some answers were similar to mine, but some had an enjoyable perspective that I did not interpret myself. In Imani's post, she had a quote that grabbed my attention as I read as well, and that is--
"You go 'head on and learn that language. Find out what they saying about us over at Chong's" "Chong's is Chinese, Miss Gloria" "Same difference". Pg 194.This example, showed how a person whether their Black,White,Mexican,etc. treat other people who aren't considered to be like themselves. Unlike the American Culture, where compared to Japan were more welcoming to diversity."
I like the way that she interpreted that simple dialogue from Miss Gloria. The way that Miss Gloria just grouped all Asians together is a prime example of how people are towards others who are different. Asian is a broad term for people of that geographical area, but that is filled with subcategories of different cultures, and ethnicity such as Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. These people are all not the same, but they are all still people just as you and I.
Michael also had a post that I enjoyed reading and learned from, I like his final sentence on his post that says "The story around Dina and her friends is about knowing different people from all walks of life whether you're from a foreign country or in a non-foreign country." That was a deep sentence and very true! Applying it to life in general and not just to Dina, all of us have roots from all over, and blood relatives and friends that may as well be blood who are a melting pot of ethnicity. America is known for being a melting pot. In Dina's time of need, the color of everyone skin did not matter everyone she lived with, helped each other as much as they could.
