written by 10610 Park So Min, In my opinion, inclusivity means treating everyone fairly and making people with different backgrounds, traits, abilities and beliefs feel welcome. It’s about creating environments, like in society, workplaces and schools, where everyone can join in and communicate freely. This means setting up places that not only accept but appreciate differences, providing equal opportunities for everyone. By doing this, we can break down harmful ideas about different groups of people and help communities understand each other better. Think about a workplace where employees from Asian backgrounds are valued for their unique perspectives, adding to a mix of ideas and creativity. Inclusivity plays a pivotal role in shaping more harmonious societies. As we actively break down barriers, people are not only encouraged to appreciate each other beyond stereotypes linked to where they come from but also to recognize the detrimental impact that these stereotypes have on fos

written by 20726 Hwang Da In When Asians go to Western countries such as Europe and the U.S., they often hear “你好,” which means “Hello” in Chinese, regardless of their actual nationality. This is a kind of racism, especially the act of generalizing and discriminating against the entire Asian population. Many Westerners nowadays have a discriminatory view toward China because of the perception that there will be many social problems, such as COVID-19 or TikTok’s Personal Information Infringement Problem. Also, discrimination against other Asian countries, as well as discriminatory views against China, is an overgeneralization of a few wrongs. One country or race may have committed criminal acts against another, but these feelings should not be addressed through discrimination. Because racism cannot and should not be a means of criticism. Discrimination against a particular race not only provides no solution, but also intensifies racial conflict. This is the fifth part in a six-part

written by 10418 Lee Seo Hyeon Many things in the world have changed as the world has changed. However, discrimination and insults against race have slightly changed or disappeared. Racism appears at the moment when we should be happiest and hurts people, young or old. For example, in countries where different races, such as the U.S., live, students of different races make offensive gestures to mock Asian students, which causes lifelong trauma. Since the beginning of COVID-19, Asians have faced new forms of hate, such as being referred to as COVID-19 or being told to “go back to your country” while being sprayed with hand sanitizer. In this way, if you think your race is superior to anyone else and insult or mock other races, this is a behavior that harms human dignity and can never be said to be socially or ethically correct. Therefore, I want everyone to know that everyone of any race is equal and has the right to be respected, like participating in anti-discrimination movements by c

written by 20618 Lee Seo Ahn Even though Asian discrimination is something that shouldn’t happen, it does take place. One example of Asian discrimination I would like to introduce is Kim’s Convenience , a Canadian sitcom based on a Korean-Canadian family who runs a convenience store in Toronto, Canada. The show, which was aired on CBC, was praised for portraying family dynamics, immigrant experiences and exploration of themes around race and identity. However, a TV show that was well-known for representing the Asian community also had a dark side. Jean Yoon, who played the Kim matriarch, tweeted on June 6th, 2021, “We discovered storylines that were OVERTLY RACIST, and so extremely culturally inaccurate, that the cast came together and expressed concerns collectively.” She also added that the main problem was the lack of diversity in the writers room, which was filled with white writers. Yoon said this lack of diversity led to inaccurate information in the show’s script. “If I had
