Racism: One of the Global Crisis

Racism. These past few days and months , almost revolves around us , in any social media you enter , whether it is on facebook , twitter , or even in television news , they existed. I have seen so many negative events that happened around us no matter what country they are from. Even worse , our country belong to those countries who happened to have experienced those cases . Whether our fellow filipino is the victim of racism , just like what happened in America , when there is a filipino citizen being disrespected by a black american citizen , or worse , our own fellow filipino being racist to a canadian contestant in the miss universe .

You see , I can tell that those people , our own fellow filipino, involving awareness about “Stop Asian Hate” and stop racism as well but they can't even apply it to their ownselves. They don't want to be disrespected but, they kept disrespecting other . Like of what happened, in my own experiences, about the same people, our friend Filipinos, disrespecting and being racist towards BTS , a Korean popular group. They kept on dragging and insulting the kpop group even though these people didn't do anything wrong to them. Those people are just spreading positive things and happiness, even before the became that famous and big.

But, they have stayed strong because of their fans, called A.R.M.Y., which stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth, I belong to their fans myself, and I can say that they don't deserve the hates that they receive. It is not just about them but also about those people who are victims of racism as well around the world, even me and my fellow fans, who are victims of it as well. Despite the racism we get, I am still happy because there are some people who educate those racist people, by correcting them, about what they are doing. Some people defending the victims, even standing up for them. Even though the educated people are the victims, they are willing to defend those who were bullied as well.

Although, maybe other people have reasons why they are being racist, it doesn’t mean that they have the right to be like that. No matter what the reasons they have, racism is not just an opinion. Yes, we have our freedom of expression, but other people kept on abusing their rights to speak, that is why anti - terrorism bill is being made. It is not just about speaking about your opinion, but it will become wrong if the purpose of your opinion is to hurt or worse, insult other people. Don't ever forget that words cut deeper than a knife, as what from a song, said. Many people commiting suicide just because of the negative things that they have heard from other people.

Awareness is the key. These kinds of problems can't be solve if only fewer people knows that Racism is not healthy and is should be solved immidiately. This problem will worsen if being ignored. You know, if the world is full anode, be a cathode. Beat the voice and fight against racism. Racism is not an opinion, it's a crime that is needed to be solved, buried. It is better to be a voice than to be a weapon against someone’s self-esteem.

I hope you all appreciate my article. It is for awareness for the people, to help fight Racism and also help boost other people's self-esteem and to love their ownselves.
