good evening so this is a box it has six
faces it is made of cardboard and it’s
good for moving objects from one point
to another
although be aware that they’re actually
quite fragile so do not sit on them this
is a cat it may look like a cute cat but
really it is not this prepubescent
looking felines are nothing but evil
lazy agonizing creatures they do not
enjoy WAAFs fear vast and destroy
furniture all right this is a Muslim
they come in a limited range of colors
starting with brown scruffy beers and
white caps
they’re famously known for their
terrorist attacks like 9/11 which was
destruction of the two highest towers in
2001 and are today known for their
terrorist groups like Isis which is
famous for beheading and slaughtering
innocent civilians all right this is
really bad but it’s not that bad because
we do have our president who is taking
care of the situation
Thank You Trump I don’t know what you do
but you always put our safety first
all right now in Mexico or Mexicans
better safe these people are great
people they make delicious tacos surely
saying the best music and we’re
beautiful has although there are a
little too naive they do have a lot of
unprotected sex which is why their
families are huge and therefore Mexico
is overpopulated in for which makes all
these Latinos come to the United States
and steal the jobs of the American
citizens all right that is not too bad
because they do come and take the
joseline
Arijit uneducated people working as
maize
gardeners farmers you name it but again
these people are a big threat to all of
us Latinos are nothing but no yes
Latinos are nothing about terrifying
killers and present no positive impact
to our society whatsoever okay we do
have Trump here again and he is
presenting the only possible solution to
this catastrophe the wall Thank You
Trump you’re always doing everything for
us I have nothing else to say but thank
you alright enough negativity let’s talk
about something good Americans Larry go
as you minute as you might have to seen
already these Asians and these Mexicans
and these african-americans all right
they’re not Americans okay this is Asia
this is Africa this is Mexico
and this is America do you see the
difference no you should well what about
now okay alright okay I think that was
actually enough if you haven’t noticed
till now is you either probably leave
the room or learn something for once it
does not take more than the fact that
you’re human to understand that that is
not okay it simply is not and it’s so
interesting all these things going to
one small and tiny yet huge and
terrifying category labels labels are
labels inoperative I think is
interesting how our society has
realizing putting others down in order
to feel better for themselves
I’d almost categorize their surroundings
in order to understand the environment
better and quicker this is why for
example when one smells a juicy barbecue
one’s mouth with water and one stomach
with Rumble and that is perfectly fine
but as soon as you start running into
more complex situations where
categorization is too complicated
utilized you run through issues like
racism sexism Islamophobia and
homophobia and to assume once identity
because their political beliefs or their
relationship religious views or their
gender or their race or even or
sexuality it’s just is wrong it’s
completely out of line it just isn’t
right I think the worst part of labels
is being labeled I think everyone here
and everywhere has felt like they’re
unable to achieve something lead to a
label that constricted them from doing
so of course some people go through this
more than others say white men are less
probable being arrested for jaywalking
and black men
and women earn 80 cents to a dollar as
compared to men and this is just because
of the way they are talk think behave or
act ever since I was a kid I’ve been
carrying a heavy label all across my
forehead since I was young I’ve been
told by my parents and my family members
how handsome I was and asked when I
would get my first girlfriend literally
they actually know I found no interest
in women whatsoever I back then I attend
an all-boys Catholic school where they
taught us how Jesus died for our sins
and how the woman and the man make a
baby same-sex relationships were seen as
a taboo and therefore had never heard of
this before
which robbing a things which probably
think something about me was wrong I
respect religion and everyone who
believes in it but growing up as a gay
kid I found myself in a society where I
did not belong for example if I touch a
straight boy he will more than likely
feel uncomfortable but if the straight
boy touches another straight boy he will
either not say anything or I mean or he
would say dude that is so gay so yeah
back then how great would it be you live
without labels no immigrant of
non-european descendants would struggle
through the fear of deportation no black
person will be shot from unjust police
brutality no Muslim will be banned from
air travel no transgender would would be
called for pervert and how can this be
faced a while back ago in October 19th
2016 I with my colleagues and a great
proportion of the world took the PSAT
which is a preparatory test for the
American standardized test which is
supposed to evaluate your reading
language and mathematical knowledge with
the rest of the testers there’s a couple
questions must fill in before you begin
like are you from of Hispanic Latino or
Spanish origin what is your race what is
your gender what is your
vision personally I found no interest in
answering any of this any of these
questions so I left them blank however I
see that the reason why the requester
whose information was do you see if you
apply for certain scholarships and I get
it
women have a history being denied away
from their education and black people
used to be slaves and Latin Americans
tend to receive lower class education
however this is 2017 and even though
racism and sexism and Hispanic phobia
are still a very important issue there
is no way we can get rid of labels if we
don’t stop using them why should I be a
scholarship just for Latinos does that
mean a person from Zimbabwe or Ghana or
a Singapore cannot apply for their
scholarship simply use a heritage resent
a test that is supposed to evaluate
everyone under the same standards yet
affects each ethnic group in a special
and different way I don’t know how to
faces well actually I might I think I do
I’m not so sure you see I don’t have an
answer but I do have a solution I don’t
know the process but I do know the
outcome I don’t know the how but I do
know the what to overcome labels we
simply need to stop using labels you see
they’re humans humanity the human race
is one race in one race only there is no
space for fragments there’s no room for
subdivisions that only achieve nothing
but divide us the white race the black
race the Asian race the Latino race what
really is it that says us apart apart
from the obvious pigment
Narayan and other physical
characteristics where there’s a
necessity to distinguish ourselves from
one another really live the day we are
all equally different will be the day we
are all becoming you’ll become and
differently equal to you I may seem like
a Tino or like a gay person but to
myself I am just myself I am a human a
human being still my mind circulates
with a faint sense of hope hope to fight
for what is right and fix this as one
one where religion does not pull us
apart one where gender does not define
who we are one or race does not dictate
our lives thank you [Applause]
