How could traveling to a place where you are the racial minority impact your worldview?

 @9KKB9YLanswered…2mos2MO

If you are part of the majority and have never experienced discrimination based on your race, it could open your eyes to the real part of the world that still discriminates against minorities. Segregation is still a real world problem in some parts of the world that needs to be fixed and taken actions upon to eliminate it.

 @9KKDWL6 from Maryland agreed…2mos2MO

This comparison will show that other parts of the world still have rampant racial discrimination, but are not inherently applicable to the USA. Discrimination varies wildly by location even in the USA, so while this might give you some perspective, it cant be used to say this is what its like for a minority to live in the USA.

 @9KK7W7R  from West Virginia answered…2mos2MO

it can make others realize the discrimination placed against the minorities

 @9KK8XBZ from California answered…2mos2MO

 @9KK8FWWDemocrat from Texas answered…2mos2MO

it would impact everything world wide seeing that there is more of one race than all the others .

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

How do stereotypes about races differ from the complex reality of individual experiences?

 @9KXZ6LZ from Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

Stereotypes prevent minorities from feeling as if they have a place in the US causing tensions to rise among each other

 @9KZSXXM from Texas disagreed…2mos2MO

Everyone in this current day have the same opportunity and by believing in stereotypes, who are contributing to racism itself

 @9KXZLLYanswered…2mos2MO

Stereotypes, while some matches a surprising amount of individuals, should not be the defining idea of who each person is. Stereotypes should only serve as an initial baseline assumption, which should be updated upon learning more about the person.

 @9KYQ3C2 from Utah disagreed…2mos2MO

You shouldn’t go into meeting someone with a stereotype in mind. That will only alter the way you perceive them.

 @9KXZ3PH from Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

It differs because it takes away from the actual person because the stereotype might be all they think about

 @9KXZL8N from Connecticut answered…2mos2MO

There is an undeniable divide between races and just because people say that we are unified does not make it true. There are people in the world that believe that their race is superior and that causes issues.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you believe it's possible to fully understand the experiences of a race different from your own?

 @9HCRCPL from Illinois answered…6mos6MO

I don't think you could fully understand experiences of a different race from you because you don't have like a full point of view of what it is like. But you can still help people of other race through those struggles and try learning and trying to be a better person and try treating others equally.

 @9HCRG5WPeace and Freedom from Utah answered…6mos6MO

No, everyone goes through different things in their lives and it is to much for us to know everything about some ones life.

 @9HCRH77 from Utah answered…6mos6MO

 @9HCRS9G from North Carolina answered…6mos6MO

I think not exactly you can, but you can understand from their point of view

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

How does it feel to see someone stand up against racial inequality?

 @9L578RRDemocrat from Washington answered…2mos2MO

I feel like they are the best type of people, and some of the bravest too. Some people do not really care much about that stuff, but the people who do care about it are very good people.

 @9L572PB from Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

I feels good because I believe it is important to notice and right wrongs especially when it comes to inequality.

 @9L56W7F from New York answered…2mos2MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

How might the world change if every person made it their mission to understand and embrace racial differences?

 @9L9H2HF from Utah answered…1mo1MO

I don't believe there is such thing as racial differences in a way that actually matters, there are relevant race correlated cultural differences between people, but basically nothing directly tied to a persons race

 @9L9GVG8  from Utah answered…1mo1MO

Society hasn't been more openly racist in a long time. The movie "The Society of Magical Negroes" demonstrates this explicitly. There's a lot of efforts to seed division between races of people, especially from people who claim to care about "equity."

 @9L9GT2KPeace and Freedomanswered…1mo1MO

I think the we'd have an easier time accepting everyone and every culture even if it's something that we don't fully understand or agree with.

 @9L9GY8YDemocratanswered…1mo1MO

More people would have a deeper understanding of others and become less judgemental and reluctant to accept change. This would improve the world's fairness and socialness.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

Can sharing a meal with someone from a different race be a step towards unity; if so, how?

 @9KLK2B8 from New York answered…2mos2MO

No. Whether different races come together there will always be someone or a group of people that complain.

 @9KNBSFG from California disagreed…2mos2MO

sharing meals is very personal and I think having a conversation ad that closeness would give people a chance to get to know one another.

 @9KLPM4D  from Florida disagreed…2mos2MO

The response acts as if "a step towards unity" is meant to imply perfect balance and coexistence. Being nice to other people and sharing will not instantly solve anything, but it is a step towards a solution.

 @9KLK636 from Illinois answered…2mos2MO

Sure that is a weird idea that eating food with someone of a different race will equal an end to racism? Start with correctly educating at middleschool and high school level of the history of all minorities in the US and world. Not just black history but Latinx history Asian history all minorities and their struggles n hardships and discrimination need to be taught this would be a step in creating compassion and potentially decreasing racism in the younger generations and country as a whole.

 @9KLM3MX from Indiana disagreed…2mos2MO

Me eating a meal with someone of a different race doesn't change a thing about how others feel towards that race.

 @9KLKT7T  from North Carolina agreed…2mos2MO

I agree with this idea because I think food is culture and it can help others be more open to other cultures subconsciously.

 @9KLJXG4 from Florida answered…2mos2MO

 @9KLK577 from New York answered…2mos2MO

Yes. Getting to know more diverse people will help to understand their perspectives.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

What role do you think education plays in fostering a mindset of racial unity?

 @9HDYM3C from New Mexico answered…5mos5MO

It plays a big role in the mindset of racial unity when it comes to children

 @9HDYKBP from Texas answered…5mos5MO

black students are more likely to be suspended or expelled, less likely to be placed in gifted programs and subject to lower expectations from their teachers.

 @9HDYTZ7 from Colorado answered…5mos5MO

 @9HDYLJMWomen’s Equality from Colorado answered…5mos5MO

education should play a big role in educating students about racial inequalities and movements.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would you describe the feeling of belonging in a diverse group?

 @9JKTD4G  from Ohio answered…3mos3MO

The feeling of belonging in a diverse group might be of acceptance, and appreciation from other people in the group.

 @9JKT254 from Texas answered…3mos3MO

I feel that Racial Unity is extremely important, for without unity among regular, everyday people, a society crumples from within.

 @9JKRHXC from Pennsylvania answered…3mos3MO

Some can for sure at times feel. left out, especially in this country nowadays.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

In your vision of an ideal community, what role does racial diversity play?

 @9JKRZSZ from Pennsylvania answered…3mos3MO

It is important, but let it occur naturally. Even if it isn't fun, forcing people to get along never works, and you can't rush the process.

 @9JLFLBS from Illinois agreed…3mos3MO

Regardless of race, and the diversity we face with one another each day, the common curtsey is to treat one another with respect. Even when facing difficulties such as different personality, and overall, not getting along, racial diversity doesn't have to be a bad thing. I do agree it's important, but i have a different take on it. If those of different backgrounds and ethnicity wish to shine light upon their culture with each other, they can. If they wish not to, they don't have to. There is no need to get foul with each other.

 @9JKRVF8 from Maryland answered…3mos3MO

that racial unity may have always been in tension with the differences of social level, class

 @9JKRNHLLibertarian from Texas answered…3mos3MO

It doesn't play any role we shouldn't care what race someone is or how many of a certain race are in a area
