The big idea
About racism around Chinese people
Bok Choy - Paul Mason
The big idea around the Story Bok Choy is that there's a lot of racism
towards Chinese people.
“I don’t know how you can eat that muck.”
she said it in a very rude way.
Like she was being rude about how Jacob and his mother liked Bok Choy,
and Jacob’s mother didn’t like that Mrs Bishop said that about Bok Choy,
and when Mrs Bishop pretended that AhSum wasn’t there when he was standing right in
front of her. Which was very rude towards AhSum.
And AhSum didn’t like how rude and racist to him, and when she was pretending that he
wasn’t there. Probably made him feel bad and sad maybe?
In this story it shows a lot of it, between Mrs Bishop.
She says a lot of things that are very racist.
We know this because of the way the story has been set out.
So basically in the story Mrs Bishop is very racist and rude towards Chinese people.
From this story, you can see that there’s a lot of racism towards Chinese people,
and Mrs Bishop is very judgmental and only focuses on herself and doesn’t care about
other people and their culture, because she thinks only her family or her color of skin,
matters most. When it doesn’t. Because everyone matters the same amount, and she
possibly thinks that her color of skin is better than others, like she thinks she’s better
than people the opposite color of her.
