Also, there’s no need for her to even say this, as it sounds contrived. There’s repetitive dialogue about Valentino dating “big girls.” On page 38, it shouldn’t be Valentino talking – it should be Bob. The idea of the skinheads and them being chased doesn’t work with Stan. It doesn’t fit with the storyline and it’s doesn’t add strong humor.

First off I believe that Affirmative Action is a great policy put in place to make sure that diversity is achieved and maintained (Wilkins, V. M., & Wenger, J. B., 2014). Having a diverse work and school community helps expose people to different ideas and cultures that are different from there 's and gives individuals a different perspective of several topics.
