RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION
Maybe it’s time to have a
serious talk with your friend.
The one who tells racist or sexist jokes.
The one who puts down people
from other countries.
The one who hates gay people.
If you have a bigoted friend, speak up.
Tell him or her how you feel.
We can fight ignorance with hearts and minds.
Stand Up For Your Beliefs.
Speak Out Against
Homophobia, Racism, Sexism.
