> Racism starts small. Sometimes it lives in everyday
actions and comments that we laugh off, nod in agreement to,
excuse, and therefore accept. But we don’t have
to. We can stop casual racism from growing into something
more extreme. We can give it no encouragement. No
respect. No place. No power. We can give it
nothing. www.givenothing.co.nz

> ‘A smile, a cheeky giggle, even a simple nod in agreement’:
Taika Waititi explains how easy it is to give to racism
>
> June 15, 2017
>
>
> Taika Waititi dips into the tropes of charity advertising as
he fronts a new campaign by Clemenger BBDO for the New Zealand
Human Rights Commission.
>
> In a short video currently running across the Commission’s
social channels, Waititi calls on New Zealanders to give a
little to racism, even if it’s only a smile, a cheeky giggle or
a nod in agreement.
>
> “Racism needs your help to survive,” he says.
>
> The point Waititi, of course, makes is that New Zealanders
need to do more to wipe out the casual racism that continues to
pervade society.
>
> A small nod in agreement with a racist remark makes people
think it’s okay to hold those views and leads to persistence of
those comments in society. And while a small gesture somewhat
indifferent gesture might not seem like a big deal to the person
making it, those on the receiving end of casual racism
definitely feel the impact.
>
> “… to the people receiving the racism, they’ll be getting
hundreds of bits every day. So it will add up. It will be
noticed,” says Waititi.
>
> The Waititi video serves to launch the New Zealand Human
Rights Commission’s ‘Give nothing to racism’ campaign, which has
already attracted support from a range of celebrities, including
Sonny Bill Williams, Broods, and Miriama Kamo, among others. The
Commission has also released a series of street posters to push
the cause.
>
> Each of the celebrities is featured in a short video showing
them laughing before abruptly stopping.
>
> Members of the public are also invited to record their own
video clips and make a stand against the casual racism that’s
often dropped into daily conversations.
