Stop xenophobia
Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be strange or foreign. This curation collection also includes all the 'isms' in the world; racism, sexism, etc. Including homophobia. When are people going to realise that this behaviour is not right. Please stop it now and be inclusive in your world views. Reduce the hate in the world and stop all forms of violence against people.

Explainer: why blackface (and brownface) offend | Stop xenophobia | Scoop.it
Furores over blackface happen with disturbing regularity in Australia. To help explain why blackface is more than a simple case of harmless parody - or even honouring your hero - we must understand its harmful history.

Dame Susan Devoy says casual racism not okay after Real Housewife uses 'n' word

Dame Susan Devoy says casual racism not okay after Real Housewife uses 'n' word | Stop xenophobia | Scoop.it
Devoy said while it showed some New Zealanders still thought it was fine to say ignorant, offensive and racist things it was up to the rest of the community to tell them it was not okay.

"I do not think that ignorant, overt racist behaviour is part of Kiwi culture so we all need to call it out when it rears its very ugly head. People like Julia need to understand that using words like that is not how we roll here. That is not us."

Dame Susan said while she had not seen the episode she was interested in what reaction was shown by the rest of those on set.

"I haven't seen this episode yet but am interested to see what the rest of the housewives and film crew did when Julia referred to Michelle using a hateful racist word. Does anyone challenge her? Does anyone tell her to pull her head in?" asked Dame Susan.

"I'm sorry for Michelle but this episode will educate a lot of people about so-called casual racism. The thing about casual racism is it never feels casual when it's happening to you or your loved ones."
