What problems are facing our society for racism? How racism or racial bullying impact our society? How can people prevent this problem? 

Racism is one of the most common problems which is happening in our society nowadays. Our society is facing this problem and it is increasing day by day.  This has a very negative impact on our society and people don’t feel safe. It’s illegal to treat people differently because of their race or culture. Racism is where someone thinks you’re inferior because of your colour, ethnicity, nationality or race. This can result in them treating you differently or unfairly, this is called racial discrimination. Racial bullying is a type of racism where someone’s bullying focuses on your race, ethnicity or culture.  In 2020, there are lots of racism cases happening in our world and it is still going on. It causes lots of crimes and violence. It forces to to people to commit suicide, lots of muder were happened and rapaidly increasing hate crimes. Racial bullying can range from casual but hurtful remarks, to deliberate physical and verbal attacks. Experts were researching that most of racial bullying happens in schools. In this case people didn’t feel safe and comfortable outside. They were scared and discriminated against. But people have to prevent this problem otherwise it’s going to get worse. People have to speak up against racism and fight for their rights. In my opinion, our Government should have to take positive steps for this problem to prevent this and build a peaceful world.

Racial bullying can be identified by the motivation of the bully, the language used, and/or by the fact that victims are singled out because of the colour of their skin, the way they talk, their ethnic grouping or by their religious or cultural practices. Racist violence, harassment and abuse are closely related to, and sometimes difficult to distinguish from, bullying. Racial bullying in schools can range from ill-considered remarks, which are not intended to be hurtful, to deliberate physical attacks causing serious injury. Racial bullying occurs when someone is belittled, mocked, intimidated or shamed because of their physical appearance, ethnic background, religious or cultural practices and the way they talk or dress. Most of the time people were attacked by other races and skin. Some people thought skin color and looks are more important than other things and that’s why they criticized others colors and races.  Most of the time black and African people are suffering from this problem. Some people thought black people were rude, arrogant, mean and don’t know how to behave with others. That’s why they hate them and also they think they are ugly black skinned and don’t deserve this beautiful planet.  They just judge them by their stereotypes, not their reality. If any black people were not good then they thought every black person had a problem and they hate them. People are bullying them, treating them badly, using abusive language and sometimes provoking them to fight physically. But some black people were weak and didn’t know how to deal with that. Then they feel depressed, upset and angry. Sometimes they give up their tolerance and commit suicide. The story of “Mckenzie Adams” is an example of racial bullying where a 9 years old black girl took her own life by hanging herself. She was forced by to commit suicide because in her school everyone were treating very badly, taunt and making joke with her every moments. Then she lost her tolerance and took her life. The other story is about George Floyd, who was brutally murdered by white police officer in public because of being black. There were lots of protests happening about getting justice but he still did not get justice. These things are getting worse day by day.

Racism is increasing day by day and people have to fight against this and prevent this problem to build a peaceful world and society without involving any hate crimes. Over the past two decades our society has become increasingly ethnically diverse. Information from the 2011 census shows that about 2% of the population is from a Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) background, having more than doubled in the previous ten years. Department of Education research shows that 38% of pupils in Year 6 and 63% of pupils in Year 9 still feel that a person’s skin color can make them more likely to experience bullying. Most of the school students and young people are facing this problem. But people have to prevent this problem and fight for their rights. They don’t need to be afraid and depressed about this. If people need anyone’s help to survive from bullying then first of all they have to share everything about those. If someone is being bullied by others then they need to prevent it like ignore them, walk away, keep safe, keep record, tell others what’s happening, find someone who will help out, call police and speak up against racist. That’s some way we can stop the bullying. People have to organize some communities to reduce racism and to help those people who are being bullied and getting depressed.  Also our government should take necessary steps for that to reduce hate crimes, racism, suicide and murdered case which were happened by racial bullying and  help each other with love and respect and build a peaceful world. 

Overall, Our views and beliefs develop as we grow up and are influenced by friends and family, neighborhoods, school and what we see and read in the media. People who are bullying don’t care about how others felt being bullied. Racial bullying can affect people’s life deeply; then they feel depressed, upset and angry. Sometimes they give up their tolerance and commit suicide. It’s totally illegal to treat people differently because of their race and culture. That’s why people should have to prevent it. People should have to speak up against bullying and ignore who is bullying. If people are discriminated against, they should have to fight with them for getting their equal rights. We all deserve this beautiful world and make this world peaceful and quiet.
