In the article called yellow Yu is trying to show that their is more to race being black and white because he talks about his race problems because he is Asian-American. He said in the begining that you can not write racism because people are not born racist they see it in their everyday lives like kids learn how to be racist from their parents. Even if they are not racist as a kid the way they say their parents act is the way that they usually turn to if they are stressed out because its what they know that comforts them not what they dont. So what Yu is trying to say is that even though we may not intentionally be racist we still are at times because it has been ingrained in us at times and the people of color are always feeling like they had something go bad because of race and it is not always true. So he said their is no way to write race.
First impression Yu said because he has colleague at wok who would come up to him and start a conversation with him and mostly refer to movies and other things that reminded him of Yu being asian and not like who is everything going or did you catch the game last night. None of those types of a conversation and really his colleague is not thinking of being racist but to Yu he can come off racist.
1. Why is it that every little thing a white person does to a minority always seem racist?
2. Why is it that if a white person do something to a white person we let it go?
These are not shocking arguements to me because i can see it happen in everyday life and i do not think that it is going to stop.
