I often wonder what makes a racist person tick, and to be honest I guess everything and everyone that isn’t like them makes them go nuts.
A racist person usually uses his race card whenever he has to prove a point, and most of the times or almost all of the times, the race card is used to ridicule the other person’s feelings and emotions. I am sure if the laws in some western countries are really followed then lots of such people will be charged for psychologically torturing people around them who are just interested in being left alone so they can do their daily chores.
Often it’s shown in the media that Muslims are rude and uncivilized people, but never has anyone bothered to really see what a practicing Muslim is to be like. Often we hear people say “I know how it feels when someone makes fun of your religion or your background”, to be very honest, no one would know unless you are from the same background, that’s the fact.
How to fight racism?
Let’s talk constructive.
- Teach your children to respect others despite what their background is, remember you will be thankful you did, because children who see their parents make fun of others are usually not someone children can look up to, maybe at childhood but when they grow older, they will realize what hate-speech is. So stop sooner than later.
- It’s not wrong to read the news, but remember that most news channels and sites are now tabloids who are just interested in advertisement income, sadly not looking at the after affects of their news.
- If you have hard feelings about someone who is from a different country, first ask yourself if its really worth it that you are holding on to feelings only due to some news channels? Is it a personal experience, then remember you can’t hate the whole group based on one person. To look at it constructively ask yourself if everyone should hate you because you belong to the same background as a serial rapist?
