Conversation on Racism
Hello, everyone!
There’s this new group in Multiply.com that I would really like for you guys to join. Partners for a Racism-Free Community wishes to encourage people to share their views on the ongoing problem of racism in the world. It’s not necessarily a big issue for most of us who grew up in the Philippines because, well, we’ve never really been the minority there. But most of you know some of the struggles I have adjusting to how things are here in the US - more so accepting that I can’t change all this singlehandedly (although Lord knows I mouth off often enough to think I should!) When you think about the world being just one community though, in terms of standing, benefits, privileges, we really are the minority.
So anyway, I put up a multiply group site for a non-profit organization here, and I’d like for you guys to join the conversation. It would be great if you could comment so that others would know more about Filipinos, but if you would rather quietly read the entries, that’ll also be great. Either way, we just hope you’d learn something new.
It’s still new, so there’s not much activity going on. If you’re more confident about speaking your mind, that would also be fantastic.
Hopefully that’ll start the ball rolling.
Hope to see you guys there!
(Of course, this means you have to have a Multiply account to join. Ü)
