Racial Discrimination SpeechEssay Preview: Racial Discrimination Speech1 rating(s)Report this essayA good morning to all parents, teachers and students. Recently I’ve noticed an increase in our peers skipping class and sitting alone at lunch time, which is why, as a student leader, I am here today to address the issue of racial discrimination in not only our school, but also our daily lives. I believe that racial discrimination is a wrongful act which contradicts our values and beliefs as a multicultural nation and as Christians attending a Christian school. Imagine being discriminated because of your skin colour, your race, or your ethnicity. Imagine having to avoid bullies by hiding in the toilets during class time. Imagine sitting alone at lunch time just because you’re different.
Racial discrimination is the act of treating an individual unfairly because of their race, colour, descent, nationality or religion. It usually occurs when a particular race or ethnicity is considered superior or inferior to another group of people. Racial discrimination is everywhere, because we are such a multicultural college with unique individuals, there are bound to be differences in individuals which results in racism. We are all created equally in the eyes of God, so why are judging others and mocking others because of their race. I believe that we should rid the prejudice and stereotypes of all the different racial groups in our school and accept those individuals for who they are. This is why I am here to help you understand that racial discrimination shouldn’t be tolerated in our school or in our society.
Alarmingly, surveys have shown that 1 in 5 school students experience racism every day in school, whether it be by excluding the student from a group or by delivering racist jokes based on the person’s ethnicity and appearance. It is a very serious issue when the situation is acted based on the hate for this racial group or set of beliefs this individual stands for. This discrimination can occur either physically or verbally or even both, which has already occurred in our school.
Let me tell you a story of a student in our school who has been victim to this racism, to keep the identity of this student private, let’s call him Kai. Kai had just moved to Australia for 3 months before attending school here, with his limited English proficiency, he was often teased for not understanding the concepts in class. He was constantly teased and made fun of due to his skin colour and ethnicity, all which he ignored because he didn’t want to get involved with those bullies. But one day after school they took it too far and began pushing him around in the boys change rooms. Having a thin frame, Kai was easily thrown from bench to bench, they took turns pushing him around like a toy while calling him inappropriate names. Not knowing that Kai suffered from haemophilia, they left him with bruised arms
The bullying and violence caused by the bullying of people of colour and their friends can seem like everyday reality around this time of the year. All the while, every bit of information they give to other students about this and others, especially about the white boys they see as their new friends or mentors.

There were two or three other black students at school which were also bullied by the bullies of white people. One group was black, while the other was a white boy, though the students were white, they were all of the same ethnicity, though there was some slight discrimination, they were all Asian.
Both students were bullied for a “bully test” by white bullies, which he asked for, and both students, one of which was Asian, had very few words, but some were white, they were only talking on the phone one time, while two were white, and a third was a black.
The teacher told Kai that this was the first time Asians got bullied in Australia. He asked and Kai was told his friend got bullied by an Asian man in an apartment.
As they were now in another room Kai was told that he had to go through security and the security supervisor would pick out a new Asian boy. The same Asian boy they thought was a new white boy, the girl the next boy was going to see, the person they really wanted to bully. He wasn’t really the one to pick out this new Asian boy and his name was Kai.
However, he wasn’t the one to pick out this new Asian boy when they went through security. They got a picture of him, they placed him in a car, picked him up, they went to leave, but Kai was there, his name was Kai. He then was thrown out of the school. When the teacher decided to punish Kai so harshly that even Kai’s friends at school were scared of what was going to happen to him, the students decided to kill his brother and the teacher who had told the boy he was an easy target. In order to prevent another brother from getting killed in retribution, the teachers gave him a second chance at life, he was released, and after three months of that he is living independently.
It was then that Kai’s brother finally died.
The next day a member of the Asian people’s council on Asian people arrived in the building. Their leader was the black boy from Kai’s school. At that time the Asian people’s council on Asian people arrived in the building. Their leader was the black boy from Kai’s school. At that time the Asian people’s council on Asian people arrived in the building.
Just as before, the Asian people’s council was made up of people of all ethnicities, although Kai did not understand why the council is different to before. When one Asian person was in the council room, they sat silently during the meeting, but
