Ruth: A Brief Story Of Babe Ruth
From the very beginning Ruth has experienced racism against her. Rachel(Ruth) was born in Poland on April 1, 1921 into a Jewish family. Being that they were Jew they had to escape from the Russians and come live in America. Rachel didn’t have the easiest time growing up with being a Jew that goes to a white school. Kids would tease her by calling her a “dirty Jew” or “snicker” whenever they heard Rachel speak Yiddish (McBride, James) (80). Even when Rachel (now Ruth) was an adult and had children she was insulted for her children being mixed and her being white. For example, one time she was taking her kids on the subway and people around her would say “look at that white bitch” or scream at her “nigger lover” in an insulting and angry tone
