In the wise words of Gandhi he once said, “ Judging a person does not define who they really are… It defines who you are.” Ignorant people should take a good hard look at these words and beseech them. Both Skeeter from The Help and Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird heed these words as they take this into consideration before they profile someone, both obviously don’t see color as a dividing factor in character just because someone 's race is different from ours does not make them any less of a person or beneath us in life.

It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn 't hurt you."
