I was talking with a couple people after last class about the differences in different races and ethnicities. There are negative meanings given to some which have made people afraid to talk about them for fear of being seen as a racist. The facts are, we are not all the same--we come from different backgrounds, races, and cultures and these differences should be embraced and sometimes laughed at--they are not a reason to hate. Sometimes in worrying too much about being a racist we can come across as one....but maybe we should lighten up a bit. I'm not ignoring the fact that racism happens (as we discussed in class in housing issues and jobs, etc), but maybe this video can shed a new light on some smaller things. (I am not meaning to offend anyone or be insensitive...but I apologize if this is the case.)
