We all know that discrimination happen everywhere in this world. Sometimes, people will say, they are so blessed that they don't have that black skin, or else, they will be criticize. Some people will also say something if you are Asian or other races. Why this happen? Why people aren't contented of what they are, who they are, and just stop criticizing others. I, we, you, criticize people but look at ourselves first. Are we just being jealous of others' blessings?

Decscrimination is next to human nature, its not only by the color of skin, status of your life, or race. People are basically afraid of what's different and changes.

People who dicriminate are people who wre either raised that way or wre subjected to it at sometime in their lives. If you take a group young children age 2-3 yr old children of different races and cultures they will play together great,because they dont know or see a differrence. which leads me to beleive that at some point in these childrens lives somebody or something has taught them preduice.It could be anything from tv to school mates to thier own family. so which it is a learned process.It is a sad thing but it is a problem far greater than you or I could even solve!

discrimination is natural, no matter how much we hate it, it comes natural to us. Everyone discriminates, and everyone is discriminated against. for example, he is to fat, her boobs are to small, look at his teeth there not white enough, Look at her clothes thats a fashion dont, and so on and so forth. Everyone does it. Another example would be look at dogs when they run in packs, they pick on the younger weaker ones, and the stronger older ones are the ones that do the picking, or the stronger ones pick on each other b/c one wants to be the Alpha male. Yes i hate discrimination just as much as the next person but i believe that there will always be discrimantion in some way or form b/c its just natural for us to do it.

Because some people are indeed jealous of another person culture. There are people walking on this earth that are very much jealous of another. I feel very badly for them. The comments are of being ignorant and not having decent moral values. Some people actually want to be another color and they are not satisfied with their own color or heritage. Then you have others whom are proud where they came from. Like me. I am African American, mixed with Indian. I have always considered myself African American, but I later found out that I was mixed with Indian. I actually look it. I have had many people ask me if I was Cherokee, Phillipino, etc;. Sometimes I get confused because I don't know what to put down for my race. My point is this, we should all be thankful where we came from. No one should be making comments about another's race. It is a mean thing to do to criticize someone about their race. Discrimination has to be stopped. We are all human beings and we need to set examples than being full of hatred.
