What is the best way to educate someone against racism?

Answer 1

to be honest, the best way is to help them to respect everyone regardless of skin colour or lifestyle choices. but there is a video of a teacher in america in the 60s teaching kids about racism, she said for that day, blue eyed people are better than brown eyed people, are first in the lunch queue and can not mix with the brown eyed children. halfway through the day the "better" eye colour was switched. the children worked out that there was no difference between them except their eye colour and ignored the rules by the end of the day, and managed to relate it to skin colour. so clearly this works in many cases ...

Answer 2

Racism is mainly aimed at minority groups which means that different countries tend to have different targets, educating a person on the history of these minority groups is probably the best way, show the person the struggles that have been faced in the past with the acceptance of different races in different countries.

I believe that a lot of people would say that religion is the best way to educate, but to be honest, there is racism in the bible as well.

This person need to realise that if they were in a different country it could be them who is being discriminated against, this will show what it is like to be on the other side of racism.

Answer 3

We are living in a diverse, multicultural world with no racial borders. We are all in this together. If someone is racist, they should open their small minds, and grow up. There is no room in this world for racial intolerance. And if people believe that there is, then they shouldn't even be here.

Growing up conditioned to be predisposed to hate people of another race is just wrong and backward thinking. Parents should not force their racist views on to their children. Otherwise, in an ever changing world, their will be no place for them to co-habit naturally and responsibly with the rest of society.

Another way to subvert this problem of conditioning racism in children: sterilisation.

Get them to look at the past of why people were racist... the main reason was because they were brain washed, if you get them to visit other countries, study their culture and empathise with them in every day situations of life, they are more able to look ar someone and see their personality, not the colour of their skin. Valuing diversity is very important to me and it should be to everyone because it allows people to be more tolerant with the beliefs of others.

In the past people who were racist often believe that people were inferior because their skin was different that they were criminals, liars, thieves etc which is not true looking today at the crimes committed and who they are committed by

Even people who are rasit were usually brain washed from a young age and young child don't understand the world so they follow along and only a few will realise when they're older that they were brain wahsed while others will refuse to change because 'they don't fit anywhere else'

Answer 5

Exposure...Travel...

My former friend moved from a tiny town to a big city where there were lots of immigrants. He got to know some people from the far east. He ended up hating them because to him, they were dirty and loud etc. But what he could not accept was that this small group that were in this big city were not representative of all East Asians and were a minority of people who were uneducated and ignorant of standards of hygiene. I can say that because having lived in Asia, I knew many from that same culture who are not like the ones we encountered in that city.

So extensive exposure and contact with people in their own element would help people see that we are basically the same.

Answer 7

Just ask them what they think to have very super natural that the other race don't have.
Ask them if their colour has to do with who they are in society and tell them only the poor people like them are the only one worrying about colours, because that the only way to make them famous.People who are rich and satisfied with their lives will not waste any second for such nonsense.

Answer 8

1) By telling them not only that being racist IS wrong, but also WHY it is wrong.
2) By getting them to read and find out about other races and cultures in a variety of sources, not just news articles.
3) By getting them to realise that just because other people's ideas and notions are different, does not necessarily mean that these ideas and notions are wrong. In other words, point out to them the difference between "different" and "wrong".

Answer 9

Teach their parents as well. I find that racism and intolerance is something that kids learn from their parents rather than just something that happens to appear one day. Sadly though I think that it may be harder to change the opinions of parents, being older they are less likely to want to change.
