A friend of mine who is my age has recently been kicked off of Xbox Live because he had an offensive motto, His motto had been "Kill the Jews" and when he told me I was not at all surprised he got banned, however he was quite surprised, and, outraged. Since we were talking on an online game some other people piped up and agreed with my friend that he should not have been banned for that. They also proceeded to talk about who they hate and agreed that they hated quote: "Niggers, Jews and Emos" I was completely flabbergasted by this and proceeded to leave the conversation after being told to "Shut up" for asking them why they hated these groups, but I did recieve one answer: "I just hate them, Like Cartman"
If you are not aware Cartman is a character off of a popular TV show called South Park, it is a very offensive show but, if taken with a grain of salt can sometimes be funny. However it seems as though this show is promoting Racism and Prejudice.
My question is this: Should teenagers be more sensitized about Racism, and how should we go about doing this?
