What truly makes us human is our empathy. A persons ability to love, forgive, care, to be socially intelligent, to be altruistic, to be thoughtful is what separates him from a beast.
Kay let’s do an activity…
Did you know that our planet Earth is in the solar system which is a part of The Milky Way galaxy, which in turn is a part of the Local group galaxies present in the Virgo supercluster which itself is a component of Laniakea supercluster in The Universe?
Now just imagine the size of you in this vast space…Did you imagine? You literally are a speck of the speck of a dot…In layman’s terms; you cant be seen from that far as you’re a teeny tiny creature.
After imagining how small you are, imagine what size your colossal ego and hatred towards others is…What size is it? Feeling small yet?
Oof-
People thinking that only they/their race is the greatest is just PLAIN STUPID.
#BLM brought out a lot of unspoken issues about black peeps living all over the world (mainly in the U.S)
#MeToo gave the courage needed for a lot of sexually harassed women who’d been hiding from their trauma for a long set of time..
Oh look at that! All this hate on people has made my faith in humanity take a big downfall; Humanity go brrr..

Things like these are toxic stuff/conversations:
~Imitating the Asians’ accent and making fun of it (does NOT make you look cool)
~Making rude comments knowingly or unknowingly about their race
~Making fun of their culture and cultural practices [eg. (Your kimono is really out of date, I feel sorry for your dressing style..) → Nobody gives a *beep* on what you think…only say it out loud if its a compliment. And most of the Asians like to wear the traditional dresses to continue the ancient tradition]
~Making assumptions (There aren’t any elephants used in functions in India, most of the Indians aren’t snake charmers and every food isn’t spicy)

Here are a few tips on how to be a nicer person:
~Before making random assumptions, ask about their culture
~If you said something unknowingly that would be offensive, Apologize
~Don’t distance them, they’re humans too. They wont eat you if you come closer and talk to them.
P.S. Why don’t you ask them on how to come off as a good non judgmental person? You may get some great tips!
These apply anywhere in the world, use them.
Being Gen Z ‘n’ Millennials, it’s our responsibility to stop this kind of adversity.
