I agree with what a lot of people said about the video we watched yesterday. The skit was funny because it was so ridiculous to think of people being discriminated against based on what color hair they have, so then why are so many people discriminated against because of what color skin they have? It makes you wonder how anyone can justify being racist towards another group of people because of the color of their skin, their race, and their ethnicity. While the skit was meant to be funny, it also is proving the point that being racist against someone because of the way they look or any other reason, is just as ridiculous as discriminating against people with red hair.
I just found this on the internet because I wanted to look at different types of anti-discrimination campaigns that are out there. This one is from the National Office for the Fighting of Discrimination in Romania, and what it says on the bottom is, "Appearances don't make you better or worse". At first glance I did not know that it was all the same person, but that's why I think this campaign is so cool because, while he looks so different in every picture, it is still the same guy. I think this picture gets across an important message that even though people look different, we're all humans, and no one person is better than another.
