Canon

Issues between races, genders, and equality have always been a problem. Although, it may diminishes a little bit, it still exists and we cannot deny that. Many people have fought for race and gender equality, however the problem remain and something has to get done in our society today. In a society where there are different types or people, different background and ethnicity, racism will still exist spoken or unspoken. Vivid or not.
Stereotypes are everywhere and in everything. Let's say for example a girl wants to play football, do you imagine the reaction of her parents and her friends? White Canon and Black Canon is the way Gates phrases it, but it could have been called differently. The fact that society is so used to stereotype not because this is the way we want it, but because that's the way it has always been and will always be. We can't do anything about that. It's in our mind.
I think, Gates clearly makes its point about society's view of racism and stereotypes. However, he has used some Latin-roots words that have made his text a little bit difficult.
