Your ideas for helping racism become invisible

I like Noah's question that is asking for us to come up with solutions to the problem of racism that exist in our class or schools.  What can you do to help people learn to respect each other no matter what color of skin, country of origin or religion? ~ Datta Kaur

Introduction to our discussion

Greetings. Let me introduce the Khalsa Middle School blog from our location in Tucson, Arizona. We are project about youth and race and would be absolutely thrilled if you could join our discussion and answer a question about diversity. Alright, so moving on with the one and only question for today which is… What does diversity mean to you?

As a result lots of brainstorming, we decided that to us it means all of the following and probably more.
  1. Everyone is different
  2. The condition of being different or having differences
  3. Variety of cultures
  4. An instance or point of difference
  5. Celebrating differences
  6. Understanding differences
  7. Accepting differences
  8. Diversity is good for society
