Popularity

This is the 46th most popular campaign

A definition of RACISM: An ideology based on the idea that humans can be separated into distinct racial groups and that these groups can be ranked on a hierarchy of intelligence, ability, morality. (http://bitbucket.icaap.org/dict.pl?alpha=R) I am White British, brown hair, blue eyes, average intelligence and I have no disability. Does that stop any of my actions being wrong? Does that give me an advantage over someone with blonde hair and green eyes? Racism usually is discrimination against race; usually know for 'whites' against 'blacks'. I want to open up the issues around racism, and clear up wrong ideas given by the media to the masses. I want everyone to be looked at as individuals, and NOT to be sectioned into cliques to suit the colour of their skin or beliefs. I want to show that we are all the same, despite what we look like.

Hi, i'm Ryan from south wales and I completely agree with you. Racism is wrong!!! To help you with your campaign I have this saying to share with you :- "You don't judge a book by it's cover!, so why a person by their colour?!." I hope you take in this saying. Kind regards, Ryan.S Ryan Smith (10)

It's not just race, it's everything! The word 'Group'. I am getting sick of being catergorized into these groups. It's like if you like one thing then that's who you are - deal with it! e.g. if you like classical music, then you must be a dork. Well how about the fact that i also listen to the Kaiser Chiefs and Chris Brown. Or if someone dresses intirely in black they must be goth. They must hate the world and be turned down from jobs as they are unapproachable but what about that blond blue eyed boy who sits at the back of the class swaerng and upsetting everyone - IS he a better choice for that position.

I agree, but until the government and big business stop using forms that ask for your Ethnic origins and insisting on Ethnic diversity and 'positive' discrimination this will never happen.
