Great piece. It just reminds me of the tendency of humans from one group to see themsleves as superior to others. I teach in a public school high with kids that come from all over the world and I hear and see this all the time. Mexican students making fun of indigenous kids when they speak their home language instead of spanish. Honduran kids asserting that black Garifunas (costal hondurans) are not “real hondurans”. Suni kids making negative comments about Shi’ias from their own country. We had a Vietnamese american principal for years and years….and the hispanic kids referred to him as “el chino”. The hair went up on the side of my neck when I heard this. When I repeatedly told them the principal was Vietnamese they continued referring to him as “el chino” instead of his name Mr. Trinh. Some Hispanic kids refused to sit next to south asians because they “smelled bad”. Middle eastern kids looking down on hispanics referring to them as “bad kids”. Whenever I heard or saw things like this it was a teaching moment to de-program their bias/racism. I think I made some impact buy most likely it will take generations of mixing to finally finally rid us racism.
