Did you judge me? Transform stereotype, racism, and your world | Zamina Mithani | TEDxStanleyPark

We judge people all the time. But can our judgement be dangerous? In this funny and inspirational talk, Zamina Mithani explores the nuances of the subconscious biases through her own story. From rapping Muslims to homeless citizens she urges everyone to go beyond stereotypes and towards harnessing the power in diverse perspectives. People who don’t look like us - who don’t think like us - are actually the key to our growth. Ultimately, the solution to a world where people are categorized into “kinds” is to start being kind. Zamina Mithani - mithanizamina@gmail.com - is seeking kindness revolutions and diversity solutions. She is passionate about interfaith harmony, and helping leaders “judge their judgement” in order to move beyond a world of labels and towards a world of love. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Then ask her why not even one Islamic majority nation is secular? How come every muslim-majority nation has to have Islam everywhere? Sharia laws, blasphemy laws abuse minorities. Except for Islamic nations do you see any other religion insisting on becoming theocracies? But they come to the west or other countries face discrimination and suddenly are sooooo enlightened

    Amazing presentation. I am starting to believe the root cause of all these stereotyping and having opinions on other people and subjects starts from the fact that we are trying to have "an answer" for what we don't know instead of asking questions. We should start promoting a "bad question" more than a "good answer".

    What an engaging speaker Zamina Mathini is! I wish the human brain could evolve past the inital judgement response and say "Oh wait! That's old programming! To "Unknown doesn't mean bad. They could be your new friend/colleague/classmate/partner" whatever the case may be. It is too easy to judge people purely on how they look. I am guilty of it myself. Yet some of the most unexpected kindness I've been shown was from people who were from other countries working and living in Ireland and who didn't look like me! It's like they could see with their hearts eyes! It's truly a magical gift to receive kindness from someone who is from a different culture from you and when the world seems like a tough place or you're having a bad day! The thing is, most of these people know what it's like to be different and i think that's what gives them so much compassion. That's why i grieve when i hear people rejecting immigrants or refugees. Most people don't voluntarily leave their homelands unless it's for a very good reason like escaping wars or inhumane treatments or conditions! Please cut these people some slack! Any one of us could find ourselves in a terrible situation like that and have to flee our countries with only the clothes we're wearing and leaving everyhing and everyone we knew! There but for the Grace of God go I/ all of us. Thank you Ted x. Thank you Zamina Mathini for your humour and generosity of spirit. Angel blessings from Precious Sweetheart 🙏🙂❤
