This week we have been writing speeches on different types of discrimination and I did mine on racism. Here is my intro and first paragraph.
Racism isn’t something you are born with, it is something you learn.
Did you know 60% of New Zealanders that have been discriminated against is because of their race. That is more than half the people in New Zealand who have been discriminated against.
CASUAL RACISM
Racism happens in your everyday life and it can happen without you knowing it. Things like Asians are smart just because they are Asian or pacific islander are good at rugby just because they are pacific islanders. It is not right just to say that someone is good or bad at something because of their race and skin colour. Someone could have worked really hard to make a team or achieve something big and then someone says it is because he's different skin for an excuse but it is actually racism.
