Arizona Controversy
So we talked in class on Wednesday about all that is going on in Arizona right now and which novel some of this related too. I feel that this situation is best represented in The Book of Not with Tambu and the other other African girls, but not that she would for this. I feel that if this law was put into place while Tambu and the other African girls were there it would somehow have a reverse affect and end up hurting them more than the white girls. If the law were to be put in place in order to help the discrimination of the African girls, as this novels always tends to go, I think the African girls would end up suffering from it. This would be a law and I law applies to everyone. So if the white girls have to follow it so do the African girls. I can just see Miss Plato lurking around every corner waiting for one of the African girls to say something bad about the whites and then all hell would break loose! As the trend seems to be: the oppressed never get a break. Plus I cannot imagine that if this law was enacted that the white population would he happy about it. Since they think ofthemselves as superior, they would take every chance they could get to turn that law around on the Africans and make them suffer because of it.

I am a little confused as to what you are saying, and that is probably my own crazy mental state causing problems rather than your post. First of all, are you referring to the ethnic classes law or the law about randomly checking for illegal immigrants? Secondly, you seem to say at one point that it would be to the detriment of the African girls, and then at another point that even if it were reversed it would still be to the detriment of the African girls?
