Racist remarks and offensive stereotypes are engrained in conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn sixth form, a girl claimed I only got my A grades because I was Chinese. I corrected her telling her I was mainly Vietnamese and she says \u201cwhats the difference?\u201d Before laughing and walking away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like others, Yenlinh has had to deal with racist remarks her whole life and believes it is due to the lack of education these individuals have on the matter. Anti-Racism Day is a step in the right direction for tackling racism and is a topic which needs to be at the front of people\u2019s consciences every day.<\/p>\n<p>Yenlinh said: \u201cIt should be constantly spoken about between people to help prevent individuals from harming others. The rally is great to help bring people together in conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stand Up To Racism Sheffield have had to move the rally online after organisers were refused permission for it to be in person.
