Have any of you noticed an increase in outright racism at your school? I’m not referring to the usual silly jokes; I’m talking about a concerning rise in serious racism. It seems like some people feel emboldened to express these views, and I can’t quite figure out what’s driving this behavior.

Are there any groups or initiatives at your school promoting inclusivity? It might be valuable to get involved or create a dialogue to combat these negative attitudes and foster a more supportive environment for everyone.
