example of descrimination?
821623
When my mother had just given birth to my sister, the nurses tried to wheel her into another room so the doctor could get her tubes tied without her permission. They took one look at our family, and thought she was having kids to put on well fare. We never ever took government aid. My brother is at an Ivy league school now, and I'm applying for college. But that still irks me. This was in 1993 by the way, in a well respected hospital.

Good question. There are so many, but if I had to choose just one I would say "prejudice".\n\n1: injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in disregard of one's rights; especially : detriment to one's legal rights or claims\n2 a (1) : preconceived judgment or opinion (2) : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b : an instance of such judgment or opinion c : an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics\n\nPeople all the time misunderstanding this word. They will do or say something that is prejudice, then the first thing out of their mouth is "I am not prejudice"

If a disabled person, whose disability was they were facially disfigured were asked to leave a restaurant by the management because other diners had complained about having to look at unusual faces, that would be discrimination under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (in England). \n\nI imagine the Americans with Disabilities Act 1992 has a similar jurisdiction over such cases.\n\nBeing attracted or repelled by someone is not something you can control. It is what you do about it that may constitute discrimination (in the legal sense of that word).

A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from his or her own.\n\nDiscrimmination, in its simplest definition, is making a choice.  I discriminate against Chevy by driving a Ford.  Nothing wrong there, and I defy the Chevy dealer down the street to take me to court over it -- he'd be the laughing stock of the town.\n\nDiscrimination is only a problem when it breaks the law.  If I refuse to hire someone because they don't meet the qualifications for the job, I am certainly discriminating against them but I have a valid reason to do so and therefore have not broken the law.  If I refuse to hire a highly qualified candidate because he's white and I don't like white people, that is also discrimination and is against the law in this case.\n\nIn a very personal sense, I may discriminate in ways that would otherwise be illegal.  If I choose to not date Oriental women, that is discrimination but I'm free to do so.  Just so long as she has an equal shot at a job that I have open or apartment I have for rent, there is no problem.\n\nSo, we discriminate all the time and most of it is completely legal -- we don't even think about it when we buy Tide instead of Ajax, but that IS discrimination.  Conversely, it's entirely possible to be a bigot yet not discriminate illegally.\n\nMake sense?

Why don't you add on that every race has derogatory names attached to them?  Or that if you seek it hard enough you can find a derogatory label to attach to anyone based on the race, religion, sex and any handicaps they may have...?  That labels are just words and the insult if any, is with the interpretation you yourself place on them.

I think there are very few who are racist example KKK and other hate groups.  But I think majority of the people stereotype.  Just because a person made a comment that Mexicans eat beans does not make them a racist (although perceived by many as being one).  That is stereotyping though.  I believe that we all stereotype based on our experiences and observation towards other race.  And lets face it if there's smoke there's fire...therefore there are some truth to every stereotype.  People are just too defensive and in denial of the truth.  Coz truth hurts.

Anyone who stereotypes you is ignorant.\nIt's that simple.\nIgnorant people don't deserve your time or frustration.\nWish them well, and hopefully you don't ever have to see them again.

Well, descrimination is slightly different than being passed over for a promotion. Obviously you feel you performance warranted a promotion, so was there anything that you can identify as descriminatory. For example, are you some kind of minority: Woman, Hispanic, African American? It's very difficult to establish discrimination if you're a white male. \n\nFirst, I would advise that you find out how you've done on your recent performance reviews, many employers are obligated to tell you. Second, I would try to find other people within the company that feel the same way you do. Even if you can't find others, if you find that you've been doing well, with no reason for being passed over, then you can either file a complaint with the company's headquarter's  or simply threaten a lawsuit.

That's a very good question. There are plenty of blacks and other minorities who discriminate against whites. I have actually seen workplaces in which there were black supervisors and mostly black employees. The racism is obvious, but no one bothers to address it.

Total nonsense! If someone said "Once you go white..." they would rightly be called a racist. It's amazing how these double standards prevail though! Go any damn color you want and go somewhere else if it's not satisfying. It's as simple as that!
