Quick Summary
The attack at Paris’ Kurdish cultural centre was evidently a hate crime. This also serves as a sad warning about the increasing incidence of race and xenophobia that are prevalent in many countries. Unfortunately, the French response to the attack- and to subsequent protests about the violence of police- was met with harsh actions. This is a chance to come together to fight hatred of violence, ignorance, and hatred everywhere, whether it is manifested through the tragic events of this attack or social inequality. The goal must be to establish an environment that values and accepts diversity and encourages respect, tolerance, understanding respect , and equality for all.
