Takeaway
: After reading this book, I was able to reflect on whether we could use the word 'equal' thoughtlessly and whether our society and the world was truly 'color-behind' on the grounds that our society now has relatively more racial equality than in the past. And as a member of a society and a global citizen I was also able to think critically about what role I should play and what value I should pursue as I look at the horrendous past and present racism issues.
I reflected on whether I unconsciously distinguished, treated, prejudiced, loathed, and discriminated someone by my own particular standards. I have to develop an attitude of understanding and respecting others without prejudice to carry out my work with a clear conscience when I become a teacher and teach students or carry out international work with various race in the future. However trivial prejudice it is, it makes people wear colored glasses. So, for this reason, I make myself a promise that I won't detest others without reasonable reasons and neglect someone's disgust and discrimination against others. I hope that my change will help people change and the world change.
Two Questions
: Why do people hate and distinguish what is different from themselves or something unfamiliar?
: What is your certain racial prejudice? And what can we do to make truly color-behind society?
