Crush Crossover Campaign – Racism

 

Racism is the unfair treatment or discrimination of individuals based on their race or ethnicity. It can appear in many forms, from harmful stereotypes and prejudice to unequal opportunities in education, jobs, and housing. Racism not only hurts those targeted but also damages communities by fostering division and injustice. Challenging racism requires awareness, empathy, and action to ensure equality and respect for all people. I personally experience racism and discrimination between me being an African American male and also being in an interracial marriage and our children being mixed.
