TOW # 10- visual text

Racism has been a problem in America since the first settlers landed in Jamestown. This visual text tackles this prominent problem. In most situations, white people are racist against blacks, Mexicans, Asians- basically anyone who isn't white too.
In this visual text, three hearts are laid out, labeled white, black, and yellow. They are the hearts of people who are different races: white, black, and Asian. They all look like normal hearts, and they all look pretty similar. This is a message that is being spread: that we all are the same on the inside, so what's on the outside shouldn't count.
The target audience for this specific visual text is white racists. It lays out a white heart first, establishing what white racists consider "normal." They it lays out a black person's heart. Blacks typically experience the most racial discrimination, but this proves that their hearts are the same as ours. We are not that different. The last is an Asian's heart, proving that all hearts are the same, so we should treat everyone the same way.
The artist uses compare and contrast to show how similar the three hearts are. Comparing them, there are few to no differences, which proves the artist's point.
I think that it will be hard for the artist to achieve their goal, to convince racist people that we are all the same. They used the right devices and share the correct message, but most racists are to close-minded to interpret this as a positive message that promotes equality.
Racism will be a problem for many more years, but we are taking a step in the right direction by sharing visual texts like these. Two hundred years ago slavery was legal, so where will we be two hundred years from now?
