Positive Vs.Negative discrimination
Heres a tough, impending q that struck me as a result of witnessing several consecutive yet diverse events.It goes a lil something like this..Which would wound u deeper,positive or negative discrimination?
Now before u hastily answer that, take a moment to think about it.Though the answer may seem quite stark now, thinking everyone else would shoot for a unanimous :"thats an easy one negative duuuh" , u really oughta contemplate both situations..as i said its a tough one for a reason lol.Ready?...ill take that as a yes;)
Contrary to popular belief,discrimination does not only comprise the meaning borne by the word "racism"..however similar they may seem, theres still the incriminating sense of individuality differences transmitted by the word "discrimination" rendering it a "Ur problem" and not "Ur People's/or Ur Religion's/Ur Country's or any other word that symbolizes the sense of Unity's problem.Yep, my point exactly, ur on ur own tiger..up against the world waiting for u to fall apart and feel good throwing a pity regard over ur ruins.
plan:B? "wer gonna clap back wer gonna clap back " says the mighty Rule.
Close your eyes..i mean read this then close em;) and imagine urself in one of the most picturesque natural landscapes God has layed flawlessly onto this earth..mmm..austria sounds good..aahh the good old days..or were they?
U feel urself weightless...so insignificant..a tiny dot amid the impecable scenes and lily scented breeze.U capture the perfect image and close ur eyes while ur brain grasps the exquisite beauty of nature and processes it to coincide with the euphoria ur body is floating in..wow..let me take some more in..let my spirit roam free in the land of the creator..no man's land...i open my eyes..LIKE THANKS ALOT! WHTR U STARING AT? yes, im an outsider u could tell..that doesnt mean u should grab on to ur entire family and shake vulnerably hoping terrorist gurl would just suicide her ass off the cliff..funny, i wasnt even veiled then, imagine if i was.*shudders* yep, most of em have no clue.
Plenty of more where that came from, just dont want to bore u with the monotony.So gurls, ur brother tells ur mom u cant go home late from that particular party cuz hes worried about u catching a ride alone in a neighbourhood known for criminal activity..just hasnt been so active lately but hes still worried..u know he is..makes perfect sense eh?So, although he is aware that the danger risks apply to him as well, he points out its because ur a gurl..So gurl, would u call that positive or negative sexual discrimination? ill pass on that q..not that i dont c the logic of his words..im just way too proud and hard-headed:)
Thinking i could definitely fit in the southern spanish society, well at least the places who r used to a moorish face in the zone, i was quite satisfied that ppl wouldnt stare at me awkwardly, no treating me like a pest, no crap like callin me names or cuddling into eachother when i pass by..mmm interesting..
no discrimination? or more precisely no racism? ...."Cuanto se paga..."
Come again?...ah yes, that night..or should i say day..comin back 4:00 am barely holding myself up and staggering a 30 min walk back to the dorms after a long 2 day trip in andalucia i hear it.."Perdon, senorita.."
I, full of surprise yet thrilled to be asked for directions from a spaniard which somehow made me feel at home for the seconds that it lasted,stopped and looked seriously but friendlily to these fellow very innocent looking passerbys.."Cuanto se paga por favor?" says the guy on the bike (translation:how much do we pay?")
wow..i got too intergrated in the society that they actually thought my loosefit long clothes and scarf were actually sexy enough for me to be passed off as a hooker loool!mmm should we call that positive? me being attractive to perverted weirdos regardless of my cultural differences and clothes? or negative? she must be here for the money these arabs would do anything? or were they just way tooo drunk to avoid impaired vision hehe..
Lets talk positive now mm...Black guy gets the job cause hes black..not because hes more competent..theyr trying to avoid the racial debate..does that make him feel good?
Student gets higher grades cuz daddy makes a call to this buddy of his...student feels unqualified and buddy doesnt make it easier for him saying "im giving u this grade cuz im doin ur dad a favor, now u run along and tell him that". "Oh u cant have the job..ur veiled" final quotation cited in a country with islamic predominance bearing in mind the job required no public appearance or anything of the sort.Lets say u may somehow come across some foreigners, we dont want them being disturbed by the sight that associates them with islam and terrorism.mmm..
so thats enough for today..would luv to hear more stories about the matter..a burden is always lighter when carried on more than one shoulder;) adios

good debate, i don't think i have anything to add, u said it all.
so yeah i never really could make up my mind which is worse...to be honest i didnt give it much thinking, to me it was all the same...negative discrimination fuels u with anger and positive one fills you with frustration.
glad someones sharing the confusion;)thanks maat
true true..
Thats why paradise aint for free eh;)
Everybody discriminates but some more than others, the less we have the better, but what about those who discriminate in religion? do you think non veiled are less pious than those who are? would you look down on a woman because shes not so modestly dressed? would you listen trustingly to an old bearded guy talking about religion or politics more than a westerner on the same subject?
of course not jokerman.Superficialities lead to nothing past skin depth.Those who do judge people for how they dress are as retarded and shallow as they are dealing with any other aspect of life..and they are missing on alot.
Numerous examples in our societies have blinded us the truth that nothing is what it seems.Veiled girls commiting sexual sins or bearded men bribing and doin the greatest of sins in our faith are nothing out of the ordinary these days.However, discrimination of any sort lead by whatever prejudices is a big "NO" if u ask me
