Privileged Class are still the worst.

-- Posted By primus on September 23, 2007We discriminate against anyone who is not of our social class by keeping you where you belong. While there are more of you to whine it is we who hold your leashes and are therefore the masters of discrimination. .
I think that both sides discriminate, the effects of either parties are such different.
-- Posted By Alice on December 29, 2007Both sides discriminate equally, but differently. The upper class is often raised to look down on lower classes and racial groups. Sometimes this is accidental and simply a repeating side effect of comments passed down from parent to child. Of course there are always people to train themselves not to discriminate and eventually learn without conscious effort to not judge others. Lower classed people discriminate by categorizing ALL wealthy as being arrogant and snobbish. Both parties are at fault.
The minority groups are

-- Posted By lindsayloo14 on September 10, 2007Minority groups, whether they are truly being discriminated or not, will exaggerate any unkindness they receive, because it's an easy way to get sympathy and a false upper hand.
What I can't understand is how it is unexceptable for a white person to raise their children to be wary of the minority, but it is perfectly acceptable for the minority to warn their children about 'The Man.'. Children aren't intrinsically born with the need to discriminate. It is learned behavior. And I would hope that it isn't something being taught in our schools, so it must be learned in their private lives. But how are we ever going to have equality if one side is always talking crap about the other?
When one is indoctrinated into the rubbish that people are going to treat them differently, you have a self fulfilling prophecy working against society. Bad service at a restaurant in the eyes of the non-minority is chucked up to the server having a bad night or just general sucking. In the eyes of the minority, it was because they were of the wrong color or persuassion. There are so many reasonss why you didn't get the job, didn't get the raise, didn't get the service you wanted at the store. It doesn't always have to do with race and nationality!
Minority groups shout loudest about injustice, yet are keenest to avoid any integration
-- Posted By visionary1 on September 10, 2007Every day we see minority groups shouting that they for example "should be able to administer their community with Sharia law"
What Stone adulteresses to death? They wonder why that creates ill feeling!!
There is more prejudice among the Minority groups than the Priviliged. It's the old victim mentality
-- Posted By Perdie on September 20, 2007Too many minorities have been taught to play the race card no matter what the issue. In the attempt made by non-minorities to bend over backwards to be fair it has made them an easy 'guilt' touch. Minorities still carry prejudices against them . and use their guaranteed guilt to un-level the playing field that has so carefully been leveled for their benefit. .
