Every week, every day, even every hour I hear discrimination. Whether it be about skin colour, sexism, disablities... You get my point. Discrimination is a very big problem in the world and I understand that you may feel hurt, even angry at the ones calling you out for your differences, but please think before you speak.
Let me explain.
At school, someone is called an "idiot" because she/he had blonde hair, her response was quite insulting and vulgar.
A singer writes a song denouncing sexism. she responds in the song with... well, sexism.
A group of black men are called "insert term here" and other various stereotypical terms, the group respond by using white stereotypes.
Responding...
The response to being insulted is never to insult the other, you are just adding more to the fire.
If you respond to the hate and discrimination with more hate and discrimination, you are just doing what they were doing, you are stooping down to their level.
It's contradictory and irrational to respond to violence with more violence, there is no point:
You are adding to the fire.

We all share this planet for such a short time. You are so right about the whole blog. I think the responding is key. We have a choice everyday to how we will respond. How we percieve whats happening. Its all about the choices we make.
Someones calls us a name do we throw one back or do we respond with kindness. I know sometimes on minecraft it can be so hard. But slinging more meanness makes no sense. I for one one want to stop adding to the fire...
Good Blog.
