Racism a one-way road
This is the third version of our video made as a part of an assignment for our english class about the theme multiculturalism. We've done this second version to correct some mistakes that were on the previous one. In that theme we decided to go in a different direction instead of talking about the usual kind of racism .We don't intend to make black people seem racist with our video, we just want to show the world that there are distinct types of racism and all of them should be eradicated.
If you think its fair to judge someone by their skin colour then, why don't you judge them by their hair colour? their eyes? their nose?
WE ARE ALL HUMANS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COLOUR WE ARE!
Hope you like it!
