How does one feel after suffering racism?
In the poem “What Do You Remember About The Evacuation?” By Joy Kogawa, the author suffers discrimination from the populous during World War 2 for being Japanese “When the war was over but Lorraine and her friends spat on us anyway”(page 2) Lorraine symbolizes people’s feelings toward the Japanese. The author feels that she can’t be accepted for being Japanese “I prayed to the God who loves all children in his sight. That I might be white.”( page 2) So she wishes she was white.
