The cure for racism is cancer

     This essay is about the issue of racism in America. But more specifically how it is a pointless and an outdated issue. Something that is only still in place because of the history it has. But it needs to change because this is a different world and we cant be worrying about something so trivial. The essay describes a hospital in Houston and one that is a cancer center. And Hoagland makes the point that America needs cancer to cure racism. He describes what he means by this saying there are many different races of people at the hospital working and getting treated. And because they either have cancer or are trying to treat it the last thing they are worrying about is race, and in most cases you wont even be able to argue about race even if you wanted to. Because at the end of the day race issues are very trivial especially compared to something life of death like cancer. The point to take away from this is everyone is human and their race shouldn't be the determining factor in your opinions towards them. Because at the end of the day everyone experiences the same things no matter what race they are.
