People were born from the same place, but their color is totally different. However, until now there are still a large number of people, who discriminate other people by their color of skin. Based on the research, it depends on the place, where are you living. For instance, in some developing countries people are more generous and kind to you, so that you might not see any uncomfortable situations. On the other hand, in some poor countries or less developed, so they still keep their stereotype's mind or thinking about other people. Moreover, they judge us by our every single movement or actions. Nevertheless, in America this issue is still exist until today though, so you might not be surprised. when someone is going to say you some not appropriate words. Those words can be offended or insulting. According to my experience I spent a lot of hard times to cope with racism in my country, that was absolutely frustrated and unfair. Owing to the fact that we all are human beings, so why should we underestimate each other like that way? But I still hope that one day we can all live in peace and love.
I think when people develops racism, usually it is because they do not like someone who is so different to themselves. They feel unsafe and uncomfortable with this difference. Probably they do not have enough contact with the people who they discriminate against and do not have enough information about these people or the information that they have is biased. Based on the little information about one person, people then jump to the conclusions about the whole group and oversimplify that group. This way of developing stereotype is very common and it makes people have unsound judgements. With the globalization and the ubiquity of new media devices providing information from various perspectives, hopefully people can get to know more about different people and cultures and develop less stereotype and thereby racism can be reduced.
ReplyDeleteRacism, probably i got discriminated by another people while i live in a different country.
ReplyDeleteMost people have a stereotype about the other country because they are misunderstand the people who comes from the other culture.So after i heard information from peter , i looked back myself ,for i have a bunch of stereotypes to other culture students.I might feel bad because of the people who discriminate racism by having stereotype , but i didn't think about me . I also have a lot of stereotypes , this stereotype is leading to me a bad way to deal with other countries students.
So I believe if we want to reduce racism , we should get rid of stereotypes in our minds
