If people see someone else being attack whether it’s physically or verbally, the best thing you can do is stop it TOGETHER. If more people grouped together to stop these things, the group of people who are doing the attacking will have no choice but to stop because they are cleary outnumbered.
I'm a little lady, but I stop almost every fight and every harassment I see going on. Because I would expect someone did the same for me. I've been in situations where I needed someone to stand up for me, and people were too worried or scared to do so, they've just ignored it.
This world needs to learn to stop bullying others because they are "different". But we also need to learn to start sticking up for each other.

I just don't understand. You see, I have never been the victim of racism out in the open. I grew up in Calgary, Alberta where the majority is white and oriental. I never once felt racism directed to me. I was naive. I still am naive. I just don't know how I would react if someone was racist to me.
I've been attacked before. A girl younger then me chucked a full can of coke at me because I'm Turkish. Then she continued to verbally abuse me until I walked away. There we're 5 other people who witnessed this, but didnt actually do or say anything to help me.
Its a terrible feeling to be attacked and picked on just because of what you are. I am proud to be Turkish, just like anyone is proud to be anything. No one can take that from me. But there's saying that, and then there's showing it.
