social justice

In our social justice hurumanu, we have learned about equity and how racist people can be and what would do to make a difference.

My first community has experienced racism and unfairness. Terry is a police officer who got stopped by another police officer just for being black. I feel like Terry has experienced a lot of racism throughout his childhood and more. i think that they want us to know that dont judge a book by its cover cause when you judge someone before getting to meet them. I think that it was a good thing that Terry reported it to his boss because he wanted them to know that you shouldn't judge people before getting to know them. 

My next community is zenabs writing. Zenab has experienced hate, been called names and she was ashamed of who she was. Zenab had enough people coming at her with jokes which were supposed to be funny but were not. Zainab has also experienced people abusing their culture. They want us to know the pain and suffering she has been thrown into because of people abusing and joking about their culture. I think that she should have told them to stop and told them that they are being racist and they don't even know that.  

dawn raids. 

In the 1950 85% of Pacific islander has suffer from cops who came to house after house dragging people who weren't New Zealand citizens. in the dawn raids people would run for their life if they got caught or would hide. Little kids have experienced their parents,grandparents,aunties and uncle being taken away from their home. jacinda adern had gone through a traditional samoan way of apologising for the dawn raids. i think it was a wise choice for jacinda ardern to apologize for the government's wrong.

i want people to know that racism isn't good and that you should respect other peoples culture and dont joke about them anyhow.i think that you should think of people lives and dont judge people before getting to know them.
