What can we do to stop racism?!

We can try to stop racism by educating everyone who understand about racism about how racism affects other people and cultures. We should do this because then other people would get a better understanding of how racism is bad and/or change their mind about being racist. Also to make them have more respect of others!.. Another way we can try stop racism is to start helping out different race or cultures. This is a good thing to do to reduce racism because if other people see you helping out another kind of race instead of teasing them then they might do the same. Afterwards, more and more people would eventually do the same. Adults can try stop racism by acknowledging others intelligents and how they get along with people instead of judging them for getting a job. We should do this because when other people see you not judging others then they would start to do the same. Also, when a pop star talks about how racism is bad this can help stop racism. This can help stop racism because when children have a favorite pop star that inspires them and the pop star talks about how racism isn't good then they would listen and try stop racism too just like their inspiration. These are some things we can try do to stop racism!..

How racism affects me?!

Being racist is not good because you make others feel bad and smaller! >;(!... If people don't be racist then our Island be better because then everyone would get along. Also, everyone wouldn't  hate or fear each other. If racism stop then our lives and place would be more peaceful and friendly. And this would make me feel so much better to know that everyone can get along.!(: But since racism is still here this makes me feel upset because seeing others get teased about their skin color or nationality they are isn't right! Everyone is the same and everyone should be treated equal.. Racism affects me by making me want to help put an end to racism. It makes me want to help put an end to racism because racism makes me feel horrible knowing that so much people get teased just for being themselves and so I want to try stop racism. One time I've experienced  racism is when I was really young like about 9 years old. A boy was being racist to me calling me short because Im Asian and calling me any kind of names. This made me feel horrible because I felt so hurt and feared that kid. Then I didn't want to go to school everyday and I would cry just to make my mom let me stay home.

What is racism?

Racism is hatred or intolerance of another race. Racism is a big problem around here in Hawaii. I notice it happening alot in school and around the community. In Hawaii people are very racist about micronesians, africans, white people, filipinos, portegue, japanese, chinese, samoans, black people, and asians. Racism leads to voilence and fear or hatred of others. This affects Hawaii because Hawaii is supposed to be an aloha state but locals that lived here are not very friendly to other people culture and are spreading the wrong kind of aloha. There were many reported racist crimes in Hawaii. Look at this link of racism in Honolulu.... http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/6196109/hawaii-residents-answer-newspapers-charge-of-racial-intolerance.
