Racial Discrimination
What happens
Half of the world's population is colored, consisting of African Americans, and Latinos and more than that . But most people with different skin colors stand out to white people because they look different. We are just trying to say that we are all human, and we may not be the same skin color but we are all the same type of person.
Stick Together
It is just crazy because all races need to stick together. What would happen if there was an innovation or something? We would all have to fight and have each others' backs.
How teens can help this problem.
For teens to help this problem they can create a safe space to talk about how they really feel. Also just another way to communicate with their parent or guardian because they need to talk about this and not just have the same point of view as their parents, because it is important to know teens all have a voice a different opinions.

Stop Asian Hate
This is a video of famous athletes speaking about Asian hate and how some Asian people assume that people don't care about their problems. But now this is why we are here to change that we need to all come together as a country and be an amazing place that people want to live in and visit. Also some people know how that feels. To be laughed at and teased or not given an equal chance. But that can all change if some people could just look into other peoples eyes and say I get how you feel I may not have experienced that but I can understand that.
