Samuel Rojas Community Global Awareness

I attended the Changing Nature Race, Power, and Ethnicity in the era of Obama and Sotomayor which consisted of various club spokespeople  that discussed how both Obama and Sotomayor are changing the face of America. Also they emphasizing on how the minority population are shifting from whites to other immigrant groups such as Hispanic. They then started to show graphs and maps to show the shift on how the United States is changing. And one of the causes according to the spokespeople is Obama and Sotomayor. They have changed the way the world has is seeing the US. Before the world hated us for having white Christian presidents and now our relationships have changed to something better. Then the spokespeople  began to talk how the issue of racism still affects the world. I agree that racism can never die, it will always exist. Then people in the audience began to ask questions about economically the minority has shifted. Sadly to say this but it seems that the rich are still becoming rich while the poor are becoming more poor. But to me it seemed like this workshop was a motivational speech given to give spirit to those groups of minority. Obama has inspired many to do so. And so hopefully we all can be the change.
