After I told my teacher that my girlfriend is German, my grade got low. He is Jewish, so he must have hate me. Also, another teacher is from Cuba and I wrote that I like Fidel Castro on my essay, so maybe she hated me so made my grade low, cause before that, my grades were good

Well, obviously it's not because you dazzled them with your mad spelling skills..........

You really have some misguided beliefs that seem to show your own prejudices. Prejudice is defined as "making a judgment about a person based on their race, before receiving information relevant to the particular issue on which a judgment was being made."
Clearly you do not have your information right. You are making assumptions based on some long dead theories. Though research shows that Jews would like to have the Holocaust remain in the world's memory, they do not have any issues with individual Germans or the country. Pretty much all of the evildoers are dead or in prison. Jews have moved on. Maybe you should also.
Can you see the gross logic errors in your thinking? This is typical of people who allow themselves to make assumptions based on a person's race or ethnicity. Am I to assume because you are American that you hate all Iraqi's and love Israeli's? Am I to assume that you hate all Germans and Vietnamese because we went to war with them? That would be stupid, wouldn't it?
Teachers on the whole are honest people and want the best for all kids. If your essay was worth an F, it was probably got an F. If it is worth an A, it will get one. Your assuming that your teachers have the same kind of prejudices that you do. That is a false assumption.
You have a long way to go in the understanding of the world. I just don't have any suggestions as to how you should improve your understanding. I'm sad for you.

lol. without really knowing the whole story of your preformance. the answer can swing both ways. maybe they are and maybe they aren't.
but the reality is this, it is true that teachers whose subjects are not hard core science or math, are bias. No matter how small or how large. If you care only about high grades, you'll need to learn how to read teachers and deliver the answers that are correct and that you know they will enjoy reading. but if you want to stand by your knowledge of the subject without care to grades, then stick with that. the teacher will learn to respect you if you stand for what you believe in and are obviously good in your subject.

tests are not a put down they actually show you what you don't know and need to improve on. If you start in school thinking race card is a good excuse for bad grades...then other things in life when you grow up will follow.........everything wrong in the world is a race issue which is not even close to the truth

Dont you have access to your grades? Cant you see exactly where your grades lowered? Maybe a poor test grade or missed assignments. I advise you to talk to the teacher.

I don't think it has to do with your beliefs. The real reason is that your writing sucks. However, it is easier to blame someone else than to look at your own shortcomings, so go ahead and stick your head in the sand.

You know, after reading that passage, I can understand why your grades are low. Your grammar is atrocious.
But keep on blaming your teachers, that is much more convenient.

I think YOU are prejudice against them. How convinient that you excuse your low grades due to their national or religious identity.

Maybe your teacher was angry because you lied. You don't even have a girl friend. No girl likes you.
