Racial Stereotyping
[Music]
before i start my speech
i want to thank my parents my family
and miss eisen for supporting me
throughout the way
hi my name is emilia i want you all to
look at this picture
the one on the left is the original
which is located
in the louvre in france and the one on
the right
is a copy which is located in el prado
in spain
now if i do this would this be the same
i want you all to think about it
is it the same
stereotyping is a way to make
information out of someone’s appearance
that might lead to the wrong view of the
person
or an obstacle you simply place on other
people or a label on a picture
i am very lucky to attend to an
international school
where kids from several different
countries go to school
i’ve decided to interview several
students
teachers and parents from our community
to find differences and similarities
after this i’ve come to a conclusion
where yes
we all have differences
we all have differences but we have a
lot more in common
even though we all speak different
languages we all
look different we have different beliefs
religions
perspectives and traditions we have a
lot more in common
even though we have a lot more in common
we all want to be heard we all want to
we all have fear of people rejecting us
we want people to and most importantly
we want people to see us
for who we really are not a stereotype
which is placed to our race
but when you understand these
differences it opens your mind
a power from under you rises up
a power that will take you a long way a
power
that not everyone has you become
open-minded
and yes we all have differences
but that’s what makes us unique but
these differences
shouldn’t pull us apart from each other
they should bring us closer to each
other
for each of us bringing our strengths
together and making this world
a better world
my school has shown me the importance of
being open-minded
and i’ll always be grateful for this and
i can say
that me and my fellow students have all
become citizens
of the world thank you very much
