My fourth block of classes ends this Sunday, which means that my final projects are due. One of my projects is a 2500 word paper analyzing the influences of rase as it relates to my community. Here's the problem - I don't give a rats butt about race. It's just not something that I think about, except in this class when I've been forced to. I want to instead write a paper about how I think that race is something that we should be able to put behind us now, instead of dwelling on it and how many mistakes we have made as a nation in this area. I do believe that it is important to be aware of cultural differences and study history, but not keep beating it into the ground.
However, I don't think that my instructor would appreciate that or give me a good grade. I will most likely end up writing about being a white minority in the state of Hawaii, which I will have a hard time coming up with even 500 words on, much less 2500. I might also compare and contrast this with the community that I am more familiar with, Wisconsin. That should take me up to 700 words. Wish me luck.
