Menumpahkan pikiran sore itu
Sambil memandang foto saya dan teman-teman dari International Class
Sepulangnya dari kumpul
What do you think about the hijabi girls passing by? Or darker-skin person saying hi? We are now livingin a diverse world. Acculturation process in every second tick. The internet and the advancement of technologies distinguish borders between countries and cultures today. But, aside from the technos, why human’s perception aren’t advanced as well?
According to an article in Huffington Post called A psychologist’s explanation of why racism persistin America, Dr. Priscilla Dass-Brailsford, A psychologist at Georgetown University, says that “racism has to do with thinking of oneself as beingdifferent from other people. Seeing others as less than, while themselves asmore”. The grandiose view about thyself that maintained the border.
This phenomena appliedin everywhere, in case of culture authority, land authority, and money rule. Some people feel they are the righteous and the powerful one that they classified people into classes so that it’s easier for them to judge the minority.
Races, religions, and ethnics are values that should be respected by every of us. Even its the waygiven since we were born or even paths that we choose. Its about support and living in peace.
We don’t deny that lifedo teach us that people has different intentions. Some people are living forcash and powers, but there are also them who live for humanity and love. The way we see them determined by how we wanna see our life as. God created you, me and them as US. Came from the same cromosom combination, delivered from the same mother’s struggle, and are loved. Believe has done No Harm, butegoistic self-centered peoples do. We shouldn’t stereotyped everyone just because one’s foul.
“So guys, love your surroundings, cherish our life.
For the world’s colour, won’t be the same without each of us”.
