The talk

Today we had the assembly and it was just soooo touching, and funny at the same time. What a guys, like seriously, first being teased, no, not teased, teased is under-stating it, was put in physical danger because of what his skin colour is. AND THEN, he gets rejected to be any one's friend because of the people he was attracted to! That's just wrong!!!!! What? Like there are people who actually do that? And principals who actually ignore it?? There are people who blow up desks?? O.O That was me when I heard it. Vancouver's a big city, full of multiculturalism, come on, if you were to say something like that, the visible minority (well, if you think about it, here it's not really a VISIBLE minority) then you'd be the one who gets in trouble. We just don't really experience racism here in Vancouver. Of course, there are certain individuals, but for a city as a whole, we are very open to anyone of different race or gender or what their interests are. We should feel lucky. Of course, I missed the last little bit cause I had to skid on out of there and get to Hamber for a volleyball game, but from what I've heard, Vancouver is great, and we need to make all places like Vancouver. Tomorrow, PURPLE FOR THE WIN, I'm going to wear all the purple I own. I mean, I'm not gay, but I am part of a visible minority, and just because I'm not gay, doesn't mean I can't have gay friends, or stand up for gay people, and say that even though we might not choose the same gender for our life partners, it doesn't mean they are weird, and it definitely doesn't make you more superior, and it DEFINITELY doesn't make you liable to say that they are "not right" or "not normal" because they are still people. If we, as a species, don't even get along with each other, no matter colour, religion, sex, gender, they what the hell do we have left in the world?
