Our world has certainly made a lot of social progress but the sad reality is that racism and other forms of discrimination still permeate our cultures.
Even when we think we are just making a simple joke, sometimes we need to stop and put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Just for a few cheap laughs, we could be seriously hurting people who have been putting up with those jokes and have been discriminated against for their entire lives.
BeyondBlue, an organization in Australia, is on a mission to help fight discrimination, which leads to depression and anxiety. They’ve made this video to brilliantly send the message that discrimination, including casual racism, is unacceptable behaviour and needs to be stopped.
