Have you ever judged people because they are from a certain country or belongs to a certain race? Have you ever felt every eye on you knowing that you are being continuously observed and judged? If you haven’t been through this, just imagine. How do you like it? Not even a bit, right? So, if you don’t like it, why do it to someone else.

Racism is everywhere six letters one word it might be in gossips or social media platforms. It may occur in an active way or a passive way. It may be by leaving them out of the social groups and gatherings, not considering their views and experiences, out casting them and calling names and insulting them. Racism is demonstrated mostly in behavior and activities that reflects detest, abuse, violence and hate directed to a certain community. Discrimination based on color, clothing, religion or culture is racism.

This discrimination haunts many people worldwide. It makes their life worse, full of pain and struggle. It not only breaks their heart but also tears their soul apart. Even the place of work is not untouched by racism. Loss of job, loss of promotion and such events makes their life a living hell. They become the instrument for venting out of everyday frustration and aggression.

Racism not only harms people mentally but also physically. Many of them get harmed in physical violence. More than that, many others get hurt as well and country’s infrastructure and economy bears the loss as well. Each one of us is different in one way or other. Before you judge someone or do something to someone, take a minute and think. Would you like to be in their shoes, stand where they are? Would you like to be treated the way you are treating them? The answer is no. Then why do something to someone that we wouldn’t like for ourselves. Racism is a vice and it needs to be eradicated.
