A story about penguins that distinguish themselves from and reject something that is different from themselves

Push Away
Something loud happens on the 8-shaped island of ice where penguins live. Holding long sticks, adult penguins go to one side of the island and push those attempting to enter their space. Because they look different, were born somewhere else, and are different from them....... Little penguins are curious. Why are adult penguins pushing?
It is easy for us to be afraid of new people or situations. This is because we cannot forecast changes that will be brought about by people. It may be our instinct to be on guard and defend ourselves. However, prejudice and false news significantly increase this sense of fear to result in greater prejudice and misunderstanding.
Just like the adult penguins in Push It Out.
