Confessions of a Social Climber

In just a little under 2 minutes, Queen Rania asks for help on clarifying the people in Jordan, mentions Jack Bauer and explains how YouTube acts as a platform for addressing concerns.

Isn’t this amazing? It’s pretty hard to imagine other politicians doing something like this and getting to pull it off without it seeming like a campaign plea.

Getting back on the video, it’s just beautiful. Having a queen make the first move, on clarifying stereotypes and maybe ending pre-judgment on the Arab people, is maybe the first step to ending not just stereotyping, but racism.

There have been several replies to her call, and have mixed reactions. Some answered the call and responded with a stereotype question, some have posted montages of reactions to terrorism, while others replace the question with another question.

I’m looking forward to the response that Queen Rania will make. Will it be a step forward to ending persecution of other races for being, or will it become a mini-solution to ending people from exercising undue prejudice?

The question though, is, if she does answer the questions, will it change the world? It’s a pretty big step and I myself think it’s in the right direction, not only for Arab people, but for people of different races and cultures to get an understanding of each other.
