Hello!

Racism is not only stereotyping someone because of their color. Rather, discrimination, hatred, or prejudice against anyone due to their ethnicity, color, or origin. Racism is a barrier society needs to cross as a whole. It prevents development in terms of equality and dignity, and deprives others from enjoying it. Believing that a certain race is superior to another is the definition of racism, in short terms.

The aim of this blog is to raise awareness about racism through writing about the main topics that fall under racism, such as stereotypes and schemas developed and exercised. Readers will learn about how racist ideas are developed unintentionally and intentionally, alongside the effect racism has on society as a whole and individual victims.

This picture was taken in high school while doing a poster addressing the issue with racism, where the whole school united in a 'equality for all' campaign aiming to stop racial discrimination.
