passport..

I think this essay hits the point about passports and identity and immigrants head on. In the United States when we see someone who isn't of the same race or ethnicity than us we look at them like they have eight heads or something. I'll be honest I do it sometimes too. I think that it got worse after 9/11. We look at muslims and others as they may be terrorists that we should keep an eye on them, or mayb just throw them an evil eye. Also we do the same thing when some speaks a different language. When I'm in a mall or a restaurant and i hear another language being spoken I get annoyed. I think that if you want to live in this country you should speak the language. If everyone spoke the language in public with everyone else then stares and dirty looks would be eliminated. If you are in your own home you can speak what you want but you are in a country that speaks English, than speak it! But I believe the essay got to the point and I agree with it.
