I watched a youtube video of an episode of What would you do.. Its a series of various social experiments recorded live. This series is produced by CNBC channel based in USA .
This particular episode was a compelling watch and i could actually relate to it even though i have never travelled trans pacific. Racism does exist and it transcends all borders and can be experienced by anyone black or white, rich or poor. I know all of us
have experienced it in some way or the other, i urge my readers to watch this video however disturbing it is, as its tea
ches us animportant lesson to stand up and raise our voices when we see something like this happen in our own neighborhoods. For my readers in India : Racism is very much a daily routine, calling someone a ‘bihari’, ‘baniya’, ‘chinky’, ‘sardar’, ‘kalaa’, ‘goraa’ in condescending manner is like saying ‘hello’ in our country. There are stereotypes for every caste, every religion. We experience name calling and labelling on everyday basis and simple education and awareness can make things lot better and increase our acceptance level towards others. Your comments and feedback are most welcome.
