Intertwined

This week the two theories we went over go rather well together. In "Shooting an Elephant" the main character is so obsesed with how he portrays himself infront of the crowd that he lowers himself into doing something he doesn't want to do. All because he doesn't want to be ridiculed any more than he already has. All throughout history there are accounts of people living in places where they are the outlier to live with people who do not want them there. Most of it being because of colonization or to 'tame the uncultured' because they think they're better than everyone else. I think Race theory coincides with this really well because different races have been oppressed throughout time, causing discord among people. The lack of recognition towards people left behind is slowly growing smaller, and I do think it has improved, but we are still a long way off from being completely unbiased between races.
