Diary entry 2 explains that this young man is the only white person in his English class and he is not comfortable with it. He wants to be somewhere else every English lesson and thinking that the school made a mistake and out him in wrong English class.
This diary entry conveys the racial segregation within the school and this is bad. Having this racial separation causes tension between the two groups and this is how the gang wars start because they all have grudges against each other. I personally think that racism is not very good because of the effects it has on the family and the victim of racism. If people are getting bullied about having a different belief or having a different coloured skin they could go into depression cause it is a form of bulling or they could hold grudges and start a mass murder on the perpetrator. The other big component that supports my argument is that god made us equal.
Coming from a country that has gone through discrimination of the maximum where people were not allowed to associate with other races. Living in fear is not fun, knowing that out on the street there are people that want to hurt you or your family because of the colour of your skin or what you believe in is scary and unimaginable. Having a security system in your house because the crime rate and the gang war, this will live with me forever and never leave me.
In the diary entry it says “nobody mixes” this needs to change because we cannot have our people having discomfort in the world due to the colour of your skin and if you believe in God or not. If this carries on we are soon going to be in world war three and with the advancement in technology and nuclear power the world will become a small dot with no life on it, within the universe.
