Toxic positivity is trash. Here is your annual rem $Toxic positivity is trash. Here is your annual reminder that calling today 'Harmony Day' is gaslighting.... Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. This was the name given to the day in 1966 by the United Nations in memory of the Sharpeville Massacre, a terrible incident during which police opened fire on a peaceful demonstration against apartheid in the township of Sharpeville in South Africa. Australia is the only country in the world that calls today Harmony Day (since 1999), claiming that it is a celebration of multiculturalism and the achievements of people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, effectively erasing the original purpose of this day--to remind people that the fight against racism is an ongoing battle. We haven't reached some imaginary finish line. We are not done doing the work. While celebrating people's accomplishments is a great thing, it's important to remember that taking a day marking the fight for human rights and wrapping it up in more 'palatable' language is a form of toxic positivity. It is a form of gaslighting to suggest that everything is fine and that the real lived experiences of people experiencing racial discrimination are somehow exaggerated. It's very much a surface-level approach to recognising the value in our cultural differences. So remember, folks, that language is powerful. It has the power to influence action (or inaction). It has the power to erase. When used for good, it has the power to change not only our own inner perspectives, but those of the world arounds us. So let's use it wisely. We cannot address racism if we can't even use the word.
