With his video statement, Schwarzenegger wants to reach people who others “may have already given up”. To ignore other points of view would be to simply accept their existence. And especially when it comes to racism, anti-Semitism and hatred, the ex-governor of California takes a stand against such a form of resignation with this video.
With the video, Schwarzenegger tries to make it clear that everyone can get on the wrong track at times. But it is important not to give up the “fight against yourself”. Hatred is the “way of the weak”; the strong are honest with themselves and do not look for “scapegoats” for their discomfort.
