It is necessary to fight against injustices, but not through other abuses, as forced wokeism of Marxist heritage does, which seeks privileges for certain groups at the expense of taking away rights from others. For example, it demands much higher grades from Asian Americans to access university than from African Americans, thereby harming the former. <\/p>

The woke movement has a very positive side: mobilizing against abuses and working for a better world. However, an injustice is never solved with another injustice, but with justice. <\/p>

It is advisable to take a stand against racism\/ethnicism\/xenophobia\/ultranationalism<\/u><\/a><\/span>, but not to turn this into a fanaticism that points the finger at any micro-racism or non-racism, such as a child wearing an Indian costume at carnival or saying that, in general, Black people are less entrepreneurial than White people. Or like asserting that Asians on average are more hardworking than Arabs, that Muslims as a whole are more fanatical and intolerant than Buddhists, or that Southern Europeans are usually more wasteful than Northern Europeans.<\/span><\/p>

It is good to prevent hate speech and harm to innocents, but not to limit <\/span>freedom of expression<\/u><\/a><\/span> beyond that, as long as truths are spoken and never <\/span>defamations<\/u><\/a><\/span> and malicious manipulations. Let us not fall into a far-left radicalism that seeks to impose censorship <\/span>and a cancel culture consisting of discrediting, harassing, silencing, boycotting, and firing people for legitimate opinions. B<\/span>ecause taking away freedom of expression and harming the reputation of those who exercise it are ways of harming others.<\/span><\/p>

Certain truths sometimes bother people, but everyone has the right to speak them. Moreover, it is healthy to describe reality as it is, as it allows for a better understanding of the world and is the basis for making improvements<\/u><\/a><\/span>. <\/p>

Truths are different from generalizations, in which a stereotype is spread for all members of a group. They are often incorrect because, normally, in large human groups, there are all types of individuals. What changes are the statistical percentages of each typology compared to other communities. <\/p>

Let us not overgeneralize, much less defame and lie, but let us not be afraid to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.<\/p>

Nor should we worry about other micro-racisms, as long as we do not harm any innocent person, such as:<\/span><\/p>
