It is natural for humans to form prejudices and judge others based on their appearances or even their social identities. Our brains are hard-wired to form biases in order to protect us from possible harm. Although these biases can be wrong and detrimental at times, they may help us make decisions quicker when faced with difficult situations. That being said, it is important that we recognize our biases and strive to challenge them in a productive manner.

I am sorry to hear that your discriminatory behavior has been questioned. Behavior such as this can be a sensitive subject and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is important to note, however, that justifying discriminatory behavior is unacceptable and not okay.
At the root of all discrimination is an entitled attitude of “othering” – believing we are superior than someone else – which results in dehumanizing thoughts and actions. We should promote inclusion, celebrating our human diversity while recognizing our common humanity. To support this, educate yourself about prejudice and privilege, listen respectfully when people bring up your discrimination and make changes from there – one step at a time. Taking responsibility for one’s words leads to positive change!
