Dear United States Of America, So You Think We'Re Fighting Prejudice? Poem by Rossella Rossella

Dear United States of America,

So you think we're fighting prejudice?

I don't deny that we are trying,
but we are failing miserabley.

Why do we make a Women's day but not a Men's day?
Why do we have African-American Scholarships and Hispanic Scholarships, but not White Scholarships?

Why do we call ourselves 'Americans' instead of United
Statesians when people in Brazil have the same right to use that term
as we do?

Why do we still use slurs like 'retarded' even though we know that people don't choose to be held back or mentally disabled?
Why do we call people 'dorks' even though there are countless stories of 'dorks' who kill themselves because they just can't take it anymore?

Why do we seek to fight division with division?
