In my point of view the discrimination ca occurs in many different ways, and the people that suffer with this are usually disable, fat, skinny people, my concept says that any situation that makes somebody feel uncomfortable may be a kind of discrimination, It has happened to me that fact is I'm little similiar with an brazilian singer and because of this people start to make fun of me, laugh at me as I walk on the street...I feel very bad and I don't know what to do to stop that...I don't think that punch someone will do any better to this situation, what do you think??

Of course discrimination occurs in the US (in response to someone who posted to this discussion earlier), there is discrimination on the basis on of nationality, immigration status, homophobia, disability stutus, gender, and so on.

You are right about that. Discrimination can come with every form of it. For example at my job sometimes I answer a customer questyion and after that he gonna go ask someone older than me because he didnt beleive me. The other person will say the exact thing as me. You don't have to worry about these peoploe. You have to love yourself. If you feel sad about it it's because in some part you are feeling they are right, but they are not. Just ignore these kind of people
