It’s very sad but it’s very true: Racism still exists and runs rampant in a lot of parts of the world.
Sydney is one of them. Because of the traditional clothes one woman was in, another woman thought it was completely acceptable to be abusing the Muslim couple by calling them “ISIS supporters” and 23-year-old Stacey Eden overheard this.
Due to lack of knowledge and fear, a lot of people discriminate against Muslims, especially since the horrific event of 9/11 and people often express their concerns, sometimes in a not-so-nice way.
Appalled at this kind of backward behaviour, Eden made it a point to stand up and defend the Muslim couple by reprimanding the slightly older lady for saying out loud all her wrongful assumptions. She demanded that the woman to keep her mouth shut and her racists thought to herself. It’s nice to see that even at times like these, where people are confused and misinformed, there are those that will handle situations as such perfectly. After all, we’re all the same. We’re all human and we all deserve to be treated with respect.
