Stand up fit in

We did a lesson on this song “Stand up fit in” by ONE OK ROCK”.

I think it is interesting to see a music video made by a Japanese band that focuses on Racism and discrimination in another country. The conflicts in this music story pinpoints the problem of discrimination and racism perfectly. As a person born in Canada whose parents are from Hong Kong, I could relate to the boy in this music video. Sometimes, I was the only Asian kid in class and it felt quite bad to feel left out. It is the feeling of not belonging to the majority.

Ultimately, the music video teaches us to embrace our differences and not have to go against our own values and identity. As the lyrics in the song said….

”I am who I am
No matter what
Never changing”

Powerful words indeed.
