Discussing this article with my fellow classmate sparked up a couple of disagreements, debating and conclusions, it gave me a whole other perspective on multicultural situations, spotting discrimination, stereotypes and other racist things in our everyday lives. My friend explained to me how she felt about a passage saying the media, magazines, billboards and other things of that sort affect the way she grow up and saw people, she refused to accept the fact that awful things like racism and stereotypes molded her into the person she is today.
The second conversation that we have was on trying to add multicultural and anti-racist teachings into our schools. Until today I never knew that it was such a touchy subject until I discussed it with my brother, unfortunately he was treated bad by his classmates and teacher because of the fact that he was the only African American student in the classroom, so he was in full support of trying to include multicultural and anti-racist teachings in schools.
Thank you, Mayree, for sharing this with us.
