A RED CARD FOR RACISM!

 The European Union is not perfect, there are still some challenges that we need to find solutions to.

As you are bound to know, lots of people are judged because of the colour of their skin or their origin. Not only  is this  a problem around the world but also in the European Union.  This problem is due to xenophobia and racism which lead to discrimination.

Whereas xenophobia is the fear of foreign people,  racism suggests a difference of races, where  people say that one race is superior to the other. 

Racism and xenophobia have always existed. For example, during World War II the Nazis decided to kill the Jews who lived in Germany because they thought the world would be better without them. They killed about 6 million (The Holocaust).

Nowadays one of the biggest problems of xenophobia is to do with  Gypsies. Lots of people think that  Gypsies just steal and are not honest. They judge them without knowing them. Black people also have  big problems, they have  always been  judged on the basis of their skin color.

It’s true that they are trying to find solutions to this problem. In football there are  lots of campaigns against racism. In the past,  people used to shout racist things at some of the players.

 So what is the solution?  I think the first step is  to teach  kids that we are all the same and  we all have the same rights. So then they can teach their own  kids the same lesson and hopefully this message will be passed on to the next generations.
