Question

What actions can leaners take to oppose xenophobia?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Celebrate other cultures  

There is no real upside to a global health emergency, but it does serve as a powerful reminder that we are all in this together. The novel coronavirus is a threat to every human being; we must work together to halt transmission and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Stigmatization is cruel and counterproductive. Stand up for cultural diversity in your community by supporting local businesses run by immigrants. Read your kids stories that celebrate different cultures. Try foods and recipes from a range of culinary traditions. Watch films from other countries with your children.  

2. Call out bigotry and hate speech

There has been a disturbing increase in hate speech among Americans and Europeans in recent years, often blaming immigrant and minority groups for the difficulties of their own countries. If you overhear someone tell a racist joke, speak up and let them know stereotyping isn't harmless. Let your children know they should feel free do the same. There's nothing funny about using "humor" to normalize dangerous ideas and perpetuate ugly stereotypes.
