    1. If we said, "I am Japanese-Italian-"American," We treated as the people who live in there with the stereotype. But If we say "I am a human," we can be regarded personally. We can show our own individuality.Or, we can show our stance for the stereotype.

    2. I really agree with your opinion that we can show our stance on race by saying "I am a human being." I think how people describe themselves shows their identity. So if someone said, "I am a human being," we can know the person has strong thought that he or her is not particular about the race or any other difference and wants to come in contact with anyone as the same human beings.

  2. People all over the world can realize we are same. Each of us has different languages, culture and color. But all of us are human beings. I think it can causes 2 effects on us. First, discrimination can disappear because the number of people who think discrimination is a stupid thing can increase. Second, we can try to help other people because we have a responsibility to help other in order to survive together and protect our planet.

    1. You mean there are a lot of differences between people, however, if we each says, "I'm a human.", then we can unite at the level of human beings.
      Such a world sounds like an utopia. To proceed toward it, we should respect the other's culture, or the difference itself.

  3. In my idea, by saying "I am human.", we can overcome the barrier of ethnicity. And, we can also reconfirm that we are the same. I think it's important to connect people as a unit. By doing so, we can relate other's pain to ourselves, then we can try to solve many problems around us.

  4. If I say "I am a human" as the answer of "What is your race?", it means that I do not care about the races but the inside of the people. Many people discriminate other people because of their races. Of course, they might have the same cultures or languages. However, even though when people have the same race, each person will be different and have own personalities. Which means that we should not judge people just because of their races. For some people, it is very difficult to do so, but we can start it from just saying "I'm a human" instead of "I am Japanese-Italian-American."

  5. I agree with all the comments and i would like to say also that saying "I'm human" you don't make difference, so there is not superiority of someone and no discrimination.

  6. Agree with everyone and also I think that saying "I'm human" you don't make difference between people and as consequence there is not the superiority of one race.
