The town I grew up in was Show Low, Arizona. Around Show Low there are many small towns nearby. These cities all join together to form the White Mountains. Most of the citizens in my community are of Caucasian origin. There are also some different minority groups that come from different backgrounds living there. Most non-Caucasian residents are Native American and Mexican. There are Native Americans due to the Apache reservation that is to the east, and Mexicans immigrated due to the large amount of construction work. The mixing of these different groups has caused many different problems in the White Mountains community. Ancient roots of prejudice and discrimination against people of different cultures reside in the community. Not only is prejudice still high, but it has also been a hindrance to the progress of the community, which has not only affected the progress of the community, but traditions of prejudice and discrimination will most likely be passed down to Show's children. Low and the rest of the White Mountains. One of the major organizations within the city of Show Low where you would likely see discrimination or bias on a daily basis is in the school systems. They were largely affected by the prejudices of some students and parents within the White Mountains. There was a heated debate during my freshman year of high school, all started by a discriminating chant that some kids at school shouted during a basketball game against a nearby town that was also part of the White Mountains. Because of this singing, Show Low High School was placed on athletic probation. Mark Shaffer, a writer for the Arizona Republic, wrote an article titled: "Angry members of the White Mountain Apache Tribal Council will meet with Show Low school officials on March 5 to discuss a chant directed at tribal members and a suspected assault at a couple of high school basketball games went on to mention: "More than two dozen students at Show Low High School stood up and shouted, 'We pay taxes, yes we pay them.' We pay taxes, what about you?' during a timeout during a Feb. 4 home game against Alchesay High School, of Whiteriver. "(Shaffer, 2003) Not only was that chant discriminatory, but it also caused bad feelings among neighboring towns.
