Save our Language, Screw the Racism, Sexism, Prejudice

I'm just gonna put it out there to start off: humans are an ignorant species. Whether you agree or not, it's up to you. And I guess, in order to read on you'd need some level of open-mindedness. 

People always say "I'm fighting for a cause." How many of those people are actually helping to make change? Buying some tshirt that prints "I <3 Animals" or retweeting some post that says "Keep Calm and Save the Rainforests" are usually acts done to join the crowd or to pretend to be making a difference. You could probably wear it and post on Instagram to get couple likes and also get some likes for your retweet. Anything done otherwise to support this cause would be "uncool." Besides these bursts of social media, people refuse to take part and actually care for our Nature, our society, our world.

Save our Language, Screw the Racism, Sexism, Prejudice

Kakutani's piece does a great job in portraying another aspect of human ignorance. Racism has always been a center of debate -- before slavery was abolished and after. "Marked" woman are judged even more today than ever. Minority groups are silenced by the gratitude of minimal opportunity. What do we do to solve these crises? Oh sweet! "Superman(Superperson?) is reincarnated into four ethnically diverse clones"! People can now buy African-American ones, Asian ones, Caucasian ones, and Latino ones. Even Superman isn't discriminating anymore. That sure contributes to this dire issue of racism. Maybe the businesses should officially change the name to Superperson while they're at it. That would solve the problem of sexism too! People are so caught up in being"politically correct" and avoiding any offensive language. Euphemistic terms are thrown around to replace the once non P.C. language. Even a word police needs to keep us in check. Cause patrolling our language is as equally crucial as catching a murderer or tracking a thief. This overly zealous worshiping of the "talismanic power of words" is almost laughable. I can't say I'm not guilty of these acts at times because I am also human. I guess I'm more aware of the major ignorance levels in not only teens but the great population. I'm not sure of a good call to action, but at least spreading some awareness is better than nothing.
