“The effects of racism are more than just words. To some, they are bullets that leave life-altering scars. The effects of racism are more than hurt feelings, it can lead to constant self-doubt, low self-esteem, and overall shame of one’s identity. In “What you remember of the Evacuation”, the narrator didn’t just feel sad, she was ashamed. Ashamed of herself, her culture, and her worth. Racism can change the way you feel about yourself in negative ways. Effects of racism aren’t just cuts you can bandage up and forget about, they are life-changing reminders of a problem you can’t control. In the book Indian Horse, the racism doesn’t just stop at the end of residential schools, they follow the protagonist everywhere. People where ever he goes call him names solely for his skin colour. It’s not like they teach you how to deal with racism at school so the protagonist didn’t know how to handle it. The protagonist stayed strong with his culture but not everyone ca. Lots of people can give into the insults, and sadly, it happens too often. We learn about people all around the world fighting against racism until the last drop of blood is shed. Racism isn’t just a punch, it’s a hole that too many people fall into.”
