People tend to look at me and see immediately that I’m a black girl. I assume that from the color of my skin most people expect me to be loud, vulgar, filled with attitude and disobedient.  But if they take 5 minutes top observe me you would see that I am not. I was taught by my mother, to speak when spoken to; show respect to others; be courteous and polite; and to abide by the rules. I can not blame them for that perception because there are some who portray black women to be that way. Personally when I am travelling on the road and I see them behave in this negative manner I am embarrassed for them and myself. However, I also know that this generation is more educated so they know that not every black woman would behave this way. The racial diversity in Canada also allows people to interact with the different races so people know first hand that not every one is like this. On the other hand, because I am a girl hand people may see me as incompetent or naïve. However as I have said before people are ore educated these days and know that this may not be true. It has become a known fact that a woman is able to do any job a man can do.

I really don’t feel like I am targeted by anyone because I am a black girl because people are more educated these days and I believe judging people for the colour of the skin is a overrated notion (not to say that it probably doesn’t happen) and woman have proven their strength time and time again.
