黑人的命很重要 (hei1 ren2 de ming4 hen3 zhong4 yao4) – this is the Chinese version of “Black Lives Matter”
Literally this translates to: Black people’s lives are very important.
I am immensely proud of the langblr community’s commitment to learning about other languages and cultures. It is this openmindedness, curiosity and compassion that will be our weapons in fighting against the ignorance of racism. Continue to be kind, thoughtful, and attentive to the voices of people of colour.
Many of us go to school or work with people around us. Some of us are managers and leaders. No matter where you are, you have power. So use your voice to change the conversation and eliminate the systemic barriers of discrimination and inequity. Be confident and steadfast in your stance. Racism is everybody’s enemy. Today you, tomorrow me.
