Ethnic Arts Festival

The ethnic arts festival this year was an entertaining experience, but that is about the extent of it.

I have my feelings where diversity and acceptance is concerned, but I think that this entire festival was highly unnecessary. I feel that if I were a member of any ethnicity that was singled out for this festival that I would much rather be a part of the larger community and not singled out and studied.

Acceptance does not mean that we need to single out these groups and subsequently individuals; acceptance means that we celebrate all of us as the larger conglomeration that we are.
