RE: If you haven’t made friends with any Nigerians at Hive…WTF are you waiting for?

in Cross Culture3 years ago

Unless we have talked to or lived with people we never know how they are. We are just in dark until we come accross them directly be in real world or the virtual. Sometimes the negative stereotypes about a particular race, place, caste etc etc are so strong that they let us avoid those people altogether. But when we have a contact with them, we realize those ideas were so wrong. We may have differences but it doesn't mean that any of us is wrong. If we try to understand and appreciate those differences, we will realize that the people around the globe are so so beautiful.

@kenmyb and @kenechukwu97 are my good friends from Nigeria. They always helped me whenever I called them.

Thanks for this lovely love spreading post @selfhelp4trolls

Well said, Amber. You echo my thoughts exactly. Thank you. 😊

You are most welcome, my friend

I actually don't really have a problem with stereotypes, as long as we treat them as blunt and imperfect instruments and always respect peoples individuality and are open to changing our ideas.

My own stereotypes just that I might have a hard time relating to someone from certain countries because of lifestyle differences. But actually the internet and increased exposure has made it easy for any of us to relate to each other.

I would like to accelerate that expose and make sure it is more equal and voluntary than it has been in the past. That's what this group is all about.

always respect peoples individuality and are open to changing our ideas.

Our openness creates ease for us and for others. Respect for individuality I think.

But actually the internet and increased exposure has made it easy for any of us to relate to each other.

That's true. Social media especially the blogging platforms has done their job well in this regard.

That's what this group is all about.

I can see that.

Blessed day 🌷
