When you’re local and part of the majority race, sometimes it can be hard to understand the negative situations that the other minorities experience on a daily basis. When @esh_wari shared with me on some of these experiences that she has been through, it reminded me on how we should always remember to not treat one another differently because of our “skin colour” or where we’re from.
COVID-19 has tried to divide our community by making us think that those from another country, or those of a different race/background are the ones carrying the virus. The reality is more complicated than that. We need to think about whether having such rifts in our society is helpful or harmful to all of us.
We should start to listen, initiate positive conversations, and make a conscious effort to consider our own actions and behaviours, and how it impacts others. And when appropriate, speak up against racism and xenophobia.
COVID-19 doesn’t “choose” who they want to infect also, so let’s fight this as one united people, ‘regardless of race, language or religion’ ❤️
