Celebrate diversity


Moroccans are prostitutes! Russians too! Philippions…Men? Gay! Women? Sex oriented! Arabs in general are pigs! Germans are Nazis? Palestinians are crooks
Xyz are filthy, blablas are racists.
These are modern age stereotypes surrounding us… suffocating us!
We prejudge and are also getting prejudged and sadly not only because of nationality.
Religion and skin color are also important players here.
Black is filthy while white is neat; Muslims are fanatics if not terrorists.
How sad! On one hand we claim that we are a modern world that we have advanced, while on the other hand we really act like Middle Ages.
We became one world with different colors and backgrounds.
So much we learn from each other starting from food till astronomy.
Why do we allow ourselves to eat Chinese food yet make fun of them?
Do we even know how much we alienate each other by these convictions?
I doubt or else we would have given it another thought.
No one likes to be undermined especially for reasons that are not only groundless and superficial but also out of ones hands.
Political views are also common ground for hatred.
Listen, debate, be openminded about it.
You do not have to accept other’s opinions if you don’t like them or if you have views of your own, just accept the fact that people ARE different, and could have different angles of looking at things.
To cut it short, embrace, learn from, and celebrate Diversity.
