Marginalization Blog

Very little marginalizing happens in my community, it is a very diverse throughout the town. The one time i can actually remember a blatant act of marginalized or stereotyping would have to be. One time i was with four friends and we were locking our bikes up to go into one of there houses. Well we locked them up and as we head to the alley to go through the back a police officer stops us and tells us to stop and put our hands on the car. Two of my friends instantly oblige but me and the one other kid refused and proceeded to ask why. The officer responds that he witnessed us messing with some locked bike and then walk into an alley. We assured him they were our bikes but he refused and drove us in the back of the squad car to the bikes to prove we were the rightful owners. Long story short we were wrongly accused because of marginalization.
