Native Blog

If I had to be a Native from America, South Africa, Rwanda, or Australia I would want to be from Rwanda. I would want to be from Rwanda, because the Rwandan Natives weren’t forced to move, and even though both of their major ethnic groups were discriminated against, it was at different times.

It would be better to be a Rwandan Native, because they were not forced to leave their homeland. In all three of the other countries (Australia, South Africa, America) the Natives were forced to move when the Europeans arrived. In America the Natives were forced to move when the Europeans wanted to expand the United States, they were even forced to walk thousands of miles, and were eventually driven out. In South Africa the Natives were a little bit more resistant, however it led to various battles many of which they lost. Then In Australia the Natives were not only forced to live in certain places, but they were also abducted as children and taught to be more like white “proper” children.

Some people may say that the Rwandan Natives were discriminated against the most, but I think that they actually had less. If you think about it pretty much every Native in America, South Africa, and Australia were treated, and discriminated against the same. This was not true in Rwanda. In the beginning the majority Hutu were discriminated against. This would mean that if I were a Native Born in that time I would have an 11% chance of being the more privileged (Tutsi) Native, and an 88% chance of being a less fortunate Native. If I was born in the later times I would have had a flipped chance (88% good, 11% bad). Either way you put it you still have a better chance than if you were from another country.

The bottom line is that the Rwandan Natives had less discrimination (of people) than in Australia, South Africa, or America. Even though there was much more drama over races there the Natives still had a better chance of not being discriminated against. That is why I would chose to be a Native from Rwanda instead of Australia, South Africa, or America.
