What Can Break Down Prejudice?


Some examples of prejudice are often related with race or skin colors. Some prejudices are that Asians are good at Math and always receive good grades. African Americans are thought to be better at sports and do not receive good grades. They are often thought to do more crimes and do drugs. Chinese are sometimes thought of producing cheap things and rude by some Taiwanese. In order to break the prejudice of African Americans, I think we can start by showing some examples of famous or booming African American who achieved high academic statuses. Also, I think most of this prejudice came from misunderstanding or the lack of understanding. People can get rid of this prejudice by learning more about the background history, such as how Europeans conquered Africans. This may be why many people came up with the idea that Africans are underprivileged. If people understand this, they can understand why there is this kind of rumor. In turn, they can get rid of this prejudice. In conclusion, I think the best tactic is for the African Americans themselves to stand up and actively break the prejudice by achieving goals themselves.
