Has anyone noticed an increase in overt racism at their school? I’m not referring to offhand comments or jokes, but rather a troubling rise in genuine racist behavior. It’s curious to consider why some individuals feel compelled to express such views—perhaps influenced by outside factors.
One example that stands out to me is the “save Europe” rhetoric. We’re in North America, so why does it even matter?

It’s really concerning to hear that you’re noticing a rise in genuine racism in your school.

It might be helpful to open up conversations around diversity and inclusion at school, to help combat these attitudes. Have you thought about discussing it with teachers or school administrators? They may be able to help create a more supportive atmosphere.
