Over the course of the past few days, we have interviewed several people of different races for their opinions on social inequality. I'm sure that you have been discriminated or stereotyped against some time in your life. Have you stood up for yourself? Have you done anything to change that? Here is what some students have to say about these inequalities.
"Everyone sees me as an Asian... they think I'm smart."
"It's not like anyone will listen to what I'm saying..."
- Anna N. | Female | Asian | Gr. 9 Student
=============
"People expect me to be a workaholic... because I am an Asian."
"...it could be an advantage because people believe that Asians are very hardworking."
"...I usually tell them to stop..."
- Elizabeth H. | Female | Asian | Gr. 9 Student
=============
"Everyone's been treated unfairly due to their race."
"Only white people are privileged."
"By using social media to promote this cause, more students our age are more aware of the circumstances."
- Melanie V. | Female | Filipino | Gr. 9 Student
=============
Take a moment and think about this situation. Are you going to just ignore all the people who are discriminating against your race? Will you allow them to hurt other people because of who they are?
