"Even if you just think it, it's still racism." (Silent Racism)
I was thinking of how my parent's generation and older seems to harbour prejudice toward race, while my generation and the children of today are more accustomed to multiculturalism. I think general consensus would be racism is wrong, yet my friend's grandma still says the N word and thinks 'coloured boys' shouldn't be a part of the local hockey team.
The best part of this anti-racism video competition is how all the students involved are growing in their knowledge and understanding of cultural diversity.
My favourite above all was from Winnepeg, "I'm Different."
It showed student testimonials of several etnicities, including caucasian, declaring "I'm different!" in fast edit repetition.
Another one that seemed to get the point across with minimal "backyard home movie" effect was "Grow Up." It was playful in it's use of instant replay and words like "cool."
Also notable was the fact some school ssubmitted videos in both English and French. Nothing says "Acceptance of Multiculturalism" like bilingualism!!!
