Is a racial topic too CLiche?

<p>Is an essay about race and ethnicity too cliche? My topic is ''Someone who has changed my life'' I know it depends but- Basically I wrote about how I used to hate and be ashamed of my ethnicity until I met this one person who completely changed my perspective. Is it too cliche? My english teacher told me it wasnt at all, but since many people write about that topic, I thought it might be too cliche! Thanks!</p>

<p>i hope not because i wrote about race for my essay, but i feel like i had an interesting perspective on it! good luck!</p>

<p>I think that as long as it pertains to you… it is a good essay</p>
