Hey everybody, have not been blogging for days. Ok, today I will go straight to the point. As the topic suggests, I will be talking about discriminations and see if they are behaviors that are acceptable or not. What does discrimination means? It means that it is some kind or form of exclusion or rejection treatment taken toward or against a person of a certain group that is taken in consideration based on class or category. All of us discriminate people that we think that they are inferior to us. Me and one of my friend, whenever walking past a friend, will purposely scold vulgarities at him, just because that he is smarter than us by miles, and then we will walk away giggling and laughing at him. However when I think about it, I will think that our behavior are very nasty and quite overboard. We shouldn’t have walked past him, and booing at him just because that he is better than us in terms of intellectual level. The friend does not have much friends, unlike us, because of his intelligence and people will call him “nerd” or “mugger” whenever when they walk past him, and thus, no friends would like to befriend him. Can you imagine a life without any friends? When you have troubles, who can you take comfort from? When you are being discriminated, who can stand up for you? This life is totally intolerable, if I were him. I would rather commit suicide. I would not want a lonely life.
Another example is the Bishan Gay. People when seeing him, will scold vulgarities at him. He likes looking at guys wearing short pants, and he will smile at him, or he will step forward and take the initiative to spark off a conversation with him. I can imagine how people will feel if they see someone smiling at them, and staring at them until they are out of sight, not to mention that these behavior comes from a guy. They will feel that they are being stalked, and they will feel frightened. My friend says that he sees him on his way back home, and whenever he sees that he is smiling at him, he will be frightened. Nothing good comes out from his mouth when we talk about him, and instead he will talk about how frightening he is when he smiles at him. Whenever people sees him on the bus, he will smile at them and even if they changes seat, he will still continue to look at him, and not stop until he goes off from the bus. My friend says that he will even take out his phone to snap a picture of you. People on facebook are talking about his behavior and they are “full of praises” for him. However, has it ever striked you that even if his behavior spooks you, but he will not try anything funny on you? When we labeled him as the “Bishan Gay”, “KFC guy”, and the “156 gay”, how will he feel? People have feelings and emotions, and he might have his motive for behaving like that, and he might have his own problems for doing so. We should not shun him, like most people do, however, we can call for help if he tries anything funny on you. We should not discriminate him like that, and insult him by calling him names and scolding vulgarities at him.
I have come to the end of today’s post. Discrimination is no good, as it can hurt people’s feeling, no matter in terms of smartness and how they behave. People cannot control how smart are they, and people cannot control how they behave. We should not shun them. The conclusion of today’s post: do not discriminate people. Thank you, and may our path cross some other time. ( haha, sounds like some fighting show.)
