What being an American means to me is that I have the rights to do anything. Even though we are able to have all of these rights doesn’t mean we are able to take advantage of them there are still consequences for our actions.

What race and ethnicity means to me When I hear the word “race”‚ the first thing that I think of is a person’s skin color‚ facial features and the texture of their hair.
