Primary Colors

I think that the authors’ purpose for writing the story Primary Colors is to inform us what life is like to have people always judging for the color of your skin or your babies skin. 

    Personally I have dealt with diversity multiple times in my life. The high school that I went to was very small. It was so small that in the graduated class of 2008 I was the only Indian kid, actually in the whole school I was one of two other brown kids. I did not really mind being one of the only brown colored kids in the school. It’s not like all of the colored kids in school hung out together and all of the colored kids stuck together but it was a mix between all of us. I never really thought of myself as any different from any of the other kids because my skin color, frankly because my skin is not that dark anyways.  But I also never really thought of myself as completely equal to all the other kids. So being a minority at my school helped me deal diversity.

You should know that every one is different in their own ways and that is what makes you you and you should not care about what people think. if they dont like you just because of the color of your skin then they are stupid because you are a cool kid Ahmed.

Ahmed,
It is interesting learning about your experiences in High School. How surprising that in this day and age, there was only 1 other 'brown" student. I am curious about why you never felt equal to the other students.
