2G Racism Interactive Activities by Leecia Ho Zhixuan (Bpghs)

Scenario 1

leecia_ho_zhixuan1 — 2025-07-21 07:44:34 UTC

During recess, someone in your class makes a joke, mocking her accent, skin colour and calling her the N word. Then, a few others laugh along but one student nearby looks visibly uncomfortable.

Scenario 2

leecia_ho_zhixuan1 — 2025-07-21 07:47:03 UTC

Most of the people in the class share a common mother tongue, but there are a few students who don’t speak and understand it. Many conversations are often in mother tongue, therefore the few students often feel left out and sometimes get made fun of.

Scenario 3

leecia_ho_zhixuan1 — 2025-07-21 07:48:53 UTC

"Eh how come you fail math ah? I thought you Chinese mean your math very good one? I Malay eh, I get higher than you eh."

In your CCE groups, discuss how you would respond to the following scenarios, discuss ways to promote inclusivity in school.

We would suggest the classmates to stop saying racial slurs, and tell them how hurtful the words can be. We would also comfort the student.

if i was the chinese person i would feel very hurt as our race should not define how good we are at a certain subject. just because im chinese does not mean i am are good at math, everyone has different strengths, and not all chinese people's strength is math.

We can speak in English more often to ensure that other students do not get left out. English serves as a common language for all Singaporeans, and it'll help to foster stronger bonds between students of different races and ethnicities.
We can also try to be more sensitive to others of different races, and ensure that they are not left out in all aspects other than in terms of languages.

I would immediately confront those classmates immediately, Organize events like Racial Harmony Day, food fairs, or cultural exhibitions. This can allow people to have a better understanding of different cultures. Hence, it will definitely promote inclusivity in school.

We will tell them the importance of inclusivity
Use English instead to talk so that everyone can understand
Invite them into the conversation
learn more about their language and culture
teach them some of our mother tongue

(position: bystander) tell them to stop and report them to a teacher or ask them if they know the meaning of the words they are saying and explain how it could be very hurtful to the person they are targeting
we can try to learn about someone's background and ask them what does or doesn't make them feel uncomfortable.

We can include them in conversations by speaking english as it is a more common language or speak in a language they are familiar with. If not, we could clarify with them every few sentences to make sure they know what is going on and we can be specific.

firstly, we would accomodate to their needs and speak a common language like english. we could also teach the students out language to make them feel less left out. advice those people making fun of people can be very hurtful.

This is considered a very unfair treatment for judging their abilities wrongly. So, we should encourage everyone to speak in a common language like English so that we can converse more freely without worries. Also, we should learn to accept the different accents of people and embrace one another to form a stronger community! QwQ!

I would respond by pointing out how the following phrase is very stereotypical and that everyone can achieve different grades regardless of their race.
I would also ask why does the person thinks that way, what made them think that way? Do they have personal experience that makes them think and feel that way?
I would also ask them to reflect on how their words and thoughts may hurt people from different racial backgrounds.
Some ways to promote inclusivity are by making people from different races bond and interact with one another more so that we as people can understand more about different races, which prevents us from assuming and being stereotypical, thus reducing the risk of saying something bad and racist, which might offend or hurt other people from different races.

We would suggest to stop such behaviour towards the classmate as it is a sensitive topic and may hurt their feelings due to the discrimination of her difference even though she was born that way and cannot change the fact that she is different from many.

I would tell the person to stop, because it’s not funny and it’s offensive to be racist and say slurs. I would not laugh along, and I would check if the classmate who got teased is okay. If the others keep going, I would remind them that it's hurtful. If it gets worse, I would let a teacher know.

we would go up to the group and confront them, telling them that it is not nice because it is racist to make fun of someones accent and skin colour. Saying the N word is also really sensitive and it should not be said as a joke. They should be also more sensitive of those around them since the others look unfortable. A joke should not be taken too far and words should not be spoken with insensitivity. Futhermore, the N word has a deep history so it should not be said casually.

yeo_siok_uan_karis2 — 2025-08-19 03:03:42 UTC

We would firstly, stand up for the Chinese student, and correct the Malay student's stereotype. We would also try to get the Chinese and Malay students to reconcile and shake hands.

nur_athirah_balqis_mohammad1 — 2025-08-19 03:05:27 UTC

If that were to happen i would be upset as and it not fair to be stereotypical that all Chinese is good in math. I would respond by tell him that different people have their own strength. school can teach the students abt inclusivity in school during CCE lessons or put up posters about racism around the school or they can also do an assembly session about racism.

Elli, Kathy, Sephina, Liu Yi, Jia Xu, Ioan

sephina_liang_pei_xuan2 — 2025-08-19 03:05:33 UTC

i would use a common language that we all understand like English to converse with them to prevent them from feeling left out and be included

liu_yi_2_2 — 2025-08-19 03:05:35 UTC

We would let the privately talk to the Malay kid and tell him that the comment he made may be hurtful to the Chinese kid. And let him know that grades are not according to race and culture and anybody can get high or low marks. Grades is something that can be changed according to effort and behaviour, not race.

Sofea, Natalie, Javier, Min En

ho_min_en2 — 2025-08-19 03:07:40 UTC

I would ask them why they think that way. Everyone have different strengths regardless of race. I will tell them that it's not nice to judge someone based on a stereotype and it's not funny or could affect someone's emotions/mental health because they will take it out on themselves.
