Injustice Scenario: A couple of months ago I went to Pink berry in Folsom the Palladio shopping center. And just a simply injustice situation occurred while waiting in line to order my yogurt and a white person was behind me and suddenly the employee takes his order instead of mine. Although, I was in front of the white person it didn’t matter I’m assuming. Yes I reacted with anger because I knew that power and racism was present in this injustice situation. In the end, this story connects to the argument because it shows us how whites have more power over any race. As well, it proves how certain races have favoritism with one race instead of all of us being equal. (word count 168).
