Summary

She talked about Asian stereotypes, how new immigrant tried to fit in with the American society even by rejecting his/her own culture. Even though the reality of not fully belonging to Asian or American culture is a struggle that many people experience, being bicultural is a good thing, especially being able to share different cultures to the world.

My Opinion

When talk about racism, it is often referred to darker skin beautiful people who certainly deserve the right to receive the equal behaviors as others, but Asian are often excluded when racial discriminations and racism problems are discussed probably because of lighter skin than minorities. However, Asians many time do get treated differently and feel uncomfortable listening to stereotypical jokes

Reflection

Listening helps me learn more vocabulary and it helps me to feel more comfortable when listening to English. But the problem is sometimes the speaker uses difficult vocabulary that I’ve never heard before. And if the speed of speech is too fast then I have to repeat it again and again to understand what is it talking about.

Self-assessment

| The speed was OK | (YES)
| The vocabulary was OK | (MAYBE)
| The pronunciation was OK | (YES)
| This effect my listening skill | (YES)

Summary

Zamina Mithani is a speaker in the video that I watch and hear. She’s explores the nuances of the subconscious biases through her own story. From rapping Muslims to homeless citizens she urges everyone to go beyond stereotypes and towards harnessing the power in diverse perspectives. People who don’t like us and people who don’t think like us are actually the key to our growth. Ultimately, the solution to a world where people are categorized into “kinds” is to start being kind. She is seeking kindness revolutions and diversity solutions. She is passionate about interfaith harmony, and helping leaders “judge their judgement” in order to move beyond a world of labels and towards a world of love.

My Opinion

She is passionate to share about her thought and she urges everyone to go beyond stereotypes. Some people labeling someone who wears the hijab as a terrorist. And through her talk brings out a true message that makes us stop and think about how we individually judge others. And it can make all the difference in the world, if we stop and change this.
