If someone is different from us, we should accept them for what and who they are. If we like them, fine. If we don’t like them, fine. Either way, let’s not go to the extremes of obsession or rudeness. It doesn’t matter if they’re worldwide celebrities or the rich bitch from school. People are people, just like you and I. It doesn’t matter if they’ve said something mean to us or insulted our cultures. We can stand up for ourselves without offending them. It doesn’t matter if everyone else is doing it. We don’t have to conform if it means stooping to their level.

I say we because it’s something I see almost everyone doing, myself included. By making fun of someone because of something they’re born with, be it a big nose or an unusual voice, aren’t we insinuating that it’s okay to mock their skin colour or ethnic background? Maybe that’s a stretch... but doesn’t one thing lead to another?
