Racism is bad and should be stopped
Hello guys, today we are going to talk about racism. Racism is defined as having hate and showing hate towards a person from a specific race and color. This is a major problem and a worldwide issue that needs to be talked about.
Racism:
Have you ever wondered how can a racist person feel more powerful than another person that is also a human being just like him? Racist people tend to feel higher in rank than the other races that they hate. This topic should be addressed and this problem should stop as soon as possible. People all around the world get attacked or insulted by other people that are defined as "racist" and tend to feel sad and get injured. Bullying and insulting a person from a different race can make him feel lonely and give him an unhealthy lifestyle. Bullying coming out of racism can also lead to suicide. Suicide is not something we want for anyone living on this planet.
Racism is learnt:
You know, when a child is born, he doesn't know for a fact that this person is white or the other person is brown, we all might have grew up with some friends from a different skin color to different religion and different race in general, and as a kid, the knowledge is given by the parents, while the parents can be racist, the problem shifts to the children as well, and that's how they learn and understand that they are a better human being and a more respectful person than another person from another race. Growing up in a racist family or even with one family member can affect your future life. Racism is not natural, and is definitely learnt. There is literally no different between an Asian, an African, an American or an Arabic person. They all matter and they all can be a reason for someone's smile, and a good parent too.
Humanity:
Humanity is considered equal, which it actually is. We all are people and we all are equal. Equality is one thing to keep us all feeling the same way about each other and it actually stops the racism when you think about it. Thinking positively about other people around us and people worldwide, that we all are equal, will stop this problem. We all shed the same blood and our blood is the same color, which is red, and having a black skin or a brown skin is not a problem, rather it's beauty that God created. No human is above any other human when it comes to skin color. We all are beautiful souls and we all have a meaning in this life, some of us tend to learn and become doctors while others become engineers. A black man can save a white man's life in hospital or anywhere else. Staying positive and thinking about the other person's feelings is the way to go. Spread love and not hate.
Religion:
Racism is not only related to skin colors, but also to religions, and I don't really know if racism is the correct word here but I still wanted to address this situation. Every living soul has a religion, be it the same religion you follow or another religion that you may or may not agree with, and reacting in such hateful way towards other people and bullying them, insulting them and making fun of their religion is forbidden. This needs to stop as early as possible. Many people around the world suffer from racism which is in this case "religion racism" and do commit suicide or hurt themselves physically. People around the world tend to get attacked based on their skin color and religion. A woman wearing a hijab, which is an Islamic teaching of wearing a cloth-type to cover the hair, can definitely get hate from other people that follow a different religion, and the same goes for Hinduism, where a person that follows this religion gets hated when he decides to either travel or live aboard in a country that has racist people hating on him as a human being, based on his skin color or religion. This has to end. We all are people, and we all need to get together in difficult times especially in Covid times. Love is always appreciated.
Solution for dealing with this problem:
When dealing with this major issue people tend to avoid talking about it most of the time, and keeping quiet is not the way to go. Dealing with racism can vary from simply defending yourself and stating your points to educating the other person on the subject you are in, like getting attacked for being black, or speaking a different language. Education is key and stating facts and information about your language and race can definitely help the other person and might as well make him stop being racist. State interesting facts about your language, interesting facts about your race, what you study and how important helping people is to you. Change the other person's mindset and vision towards you and make him realize how bad racism is, and how could it hurt other people. Explain your points and have a friendly conversation with the other person on racism and why it should be stopped in a calm and polite way. You can also reduce racism by shedding light on the problem through social media.
Believe in yourself:
No matter how you look, what religion you follow and what food you eat, you are a human being just like anyone else, you have a future and a meaning in this life. You can be a doctor, an engineer, a pilot, or even a police officer. What makes you a better person that the other is your actions. Your actions speak better than your words, and in good actions you reward people and gain people's trust and respect. That is one important thing that makes you a higher ranked human being than someone that hates others, acts in a bad manner and causes harm to people, not your skin color, not your career, but your actions towards others.
Believe in yourself and do not let anyone bring you down no matter how you look or what language you speak. Stay strong and keep moving forward.
Mixed races do look exotic:
Well, speaking of the human races, mixed races are for sure attractive and tend to look more exotic than a non-mixed race person. From curly hair to brown skin with blue eyes, mixed races are definitely interesting people and one of a kind. Some mixed race celebrities includes:
Keanu Reeves, an actor that is mixed-race and is definitely successful, which comes to a conclusion that racism have to stop, because anyone can be successful and can contribute to our society. Keanu Reeves is loved by people all over the world.
Bob Marley, which is also a beautiful human being that is an interesting man and do look exotic and different, a mixed-race person that a lot of people love.
Pandas are not racist:
There is a fun fact that I wanted to mention, panda bears are actually native to China, which is an Asian country, while the animal's colors are Black, and White, which makes him Asian, White and also Black. An animal that relates to three different races at the same time. People have to learn from the panda and be a good bear.
Conclusion: Racism is bad, it can lead to mental health problems and injuries like attacks on other people from different races all over the world. Racism can be related to skin color, religion or language and racist people tend to be more limited to themselves around their own kind and less open to the world around them. This problem have to end and racism is not the way to go. We all are beautiful souls living in one home, earth.
Thanks for reading and have a good day everyone.
