The opening of Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward Country is flat. The author , Kristen Green, through conversations with Taylor, tells us that her grandfather's older generation's attitudes towards racism are deeply rooted. They still think black and white couldn't be in the same stage. For example, the author married a American Indian man.Taylor thought she betrayed and embraced people who live in Farmvile. Those stereotypical attitudes about racial discrimination make Kristen angry as well as me. Especially, Taylor uses term "pinto" applied to a multiracial baby which is an impolite and insulting behavior. Like Green, this is also my first time to hear that people use "pinto" to describe people. That is interesting but I am not in favor of his behavior because everyone is the same even though he is different color. Nowadays, racial discrimination is still a ubiquitous social phenomenon. Most of people naturally put different color people into different place. I think their subconsciousness will affect our next generation and causes this society disharmony.
