Sean received the letter Thursday.

The letter talks of white pride with a swastika printed on the paper as well.

Sean did not respond with anger. He instead took to social media says he believes not in the white race, but the human race. He believes in diversity. He believes in the expression of our different cultures.

A powerful message.

"One that says, 'hey this is what we believe and if you want to talk about it, I'm here for that,' " said Scott.
