Posted at 2:15 PM I remember when I first left Korea and came to America, I was around 5 years old. I have never seen a person of a different ethnicity other than mine. But when I saw my first white person, black person, or latino, I wasn't shocked. Or scared. And I wasn't judging the other person because of their appearance. When I lived in Korea, I wasn't taught to be afraid of people with darker skin than me. That's mostly because everyone around me was the same race. So when I came to America, I wasn't afraid of these people who looked completely different from me. I really just didn't think anything of it. Racism isn't something you're born with. It's something you're taught. Racism is completely unnatural. I don't really understand why it's still such an issue. The biggest problem, really, is that racism is still being broadcasted on TV shows, movies, news, and music. That's what's teaching young children racism. Another problem is that racism is being taught inside of other families. If teaching kids racism wasn't a thing anymore, our future generations wouldn't have to go through half the shit we're going through right now.
