Racism and discrimination
I suggest you who are sensitive in these issues not to read further in this post….
I just heard from my friend that she’s persuing her studies to a foreign country. Another reason she added is to run away from racism happening here. Well i have news for her: RACISM IS EVERYWHERE!!! It is true. you can’t run away from discrimination - it just happens. People will do it against you, just because you are different from others in a particular society. Take US for example. Yep it is a multicultral society there, but racism is still rampant in the society.
If we paid enough attention to the world’s history. People who are at war or countries that are in conflict just because they don’t see eye to eye to their religion, race or their ideology. We heard about the massacre in Rwanda where the Hutus killed the Tutsies in large numbers. We read about the hollocaust where Adolf Hitler and the Nazis killed millions of Jews in concetrated camps. We heard about the tragedy in Palestine with Israel, now Israel is in conflict with Lebanon. The list goes on….
In everyday life, who gets some form of discrimination? Me and you. Just because a person is born in a particular race doesn’t mean he or she deserves to be treated differently. Nobody deserves a cold look when he/she is just walking down the street. Nobody should turn down a person’s application not because he/she is not capable, but he/she i different. Heck nobody should discriminate in my opinion.
So people who have such racist ideas… ditch them. if you can’t, just don’t show them in your actions, as noone should be treated that way.
