The Alvin Ailey company had just recently flew in from New York and today they attracted media. My friends and I tried to get their attention but they only focused on one of my friends. Me and my other friend are both asian. My friend that attracted media is jewish. When a reporter from channel 5 came to interview our dance group he said that he only wanted to talk to my jewish friend. Then when he was finished he asked who wanted to be interviewed next out of our small group. And only me and my other friend raised our hands. Then the guy just went on to this other girl that was in our group even when she didnt want to get interviewed! she turned him down and he went on to another group. I had notice that all the journalists and reporters had only wanted to interview the american and mexican kids in our class. Doesnt this sound rascist?

I'm not sure the angle of the story, but media already have their mindset with story angle by the time they interview anyone.
Sorry you missed you time in the light.

yes it is unfair, but there is limited time and space so they show what they think will get the most interest, and hold it the longest. sorry but that is the fact of the media.
