I choose topic about 'Nigger' and the power of the words, because that topic shows the power of using a right word. In my country, Indonesia, there are two types people like in the Deep South America. There are "the real Indonesian" and "Indonesian whose ancestors come from China". And I include in the "Indonesian-Chinese" category. Those two types of people affect a discrimination in Indonesia. Indonesian-Chinese people do not have the same rights as "the real Indonesian". Due to the unfairness "Indonesian-Chinese people", try to do their best to get a better life. When "Indonesian-Chinese people" get their succeed, Indonesian hates more "Indonesian-Chinese people". So that in 1997 a lot of Indonesians attacked "Indonesian-Chinese people", burn their house, and they made a nickname to insult "Indonesian-Chinese people". That tragedy made I lost some my friends and things. Day by day, the conflict was being better, but if there is Indonesian called "Indonesian-Chinese people" with the insulting word, it will remind me as an Indonesian-Chinese about the dehumanize.
