Gatsby post 2- norberto
In chapter one Tom speaks about a book called The Rise of the Colored Empires. He emphasized his support towards the authors opinion of white men assuring control over several races, otherwise they would loose power by the "lesser races" and this would lead to the white race extermination. With the end of the war, it is clear that racism is an issue because a war is not only about shooting each other, but it's also about discriminating the enemy, insulting them, blaming races or religions, and many other things. Thus, it leads to a strong dislike of foreigners. I think if we continue this, many other wars will grow and may get out of hand because the human race can't be tolerant to it's neighbors and distinct beliefs.
