At least it did to me, when I was a kid. I might not have thought of the topic of discrimination when I was reading books with this message but all adds up eventually when you are in the situation later, where you need to choose. It's like a supermarket poster about a discount for whatever brand, which we see every day on our way to work. We might not think about it, we might not even notice the poster that much but our brain registers it and when we go shopping, we by the product of that brand instead of another.

It seems like children just hearing a message like that, whether they recognize what it is or not, would be beneficial on the whole.Kro92813 wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 01:21One would hope!

Yes, the societal similarities could be used as a measuring block to what we should aspire in terms of racial acceptance...when only harmonies exist, we would have grown into racial equality and society without discrimination.Leah39 wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 08:02 I think it says a lot about society at large in how we view others. I loved how the author specifically addressed how "mongrels" are treated poorly and hunted down in Echoland, and that in Olàm Shonè they are referred to harmonies. I believe that our society still has a long way to go to view people as harmonies, even though interracial people are not generally referred to as abominations in most parts of the developed world any longer.

And that's why olam shone is such a sanctuary- because everyone there believes in equality. And I suppose if one doesn't they would just be exiledFerdinand_otieno wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 12:11Yes, the societal similarities could be used as a measuring block to what we should aspire in terms of racial acceptance...when only harmonies exist, we would have grown into racial equality and society without discrimination.Leah39 wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 08:02 I think it says a lot about society at large in how we view others.
