(Translated from chinese into English)
Me: Mother, what do you feel about prejudice and discrimination all around the world? Do you think it is acceptable? Or do you think it is not allowed?
Mum: I feel that prejudice is not acceptable as every man or woman born into the world cannot change their looks and appearance no matter how much they wish for it. Everyone must accept thier skin colour, body size, appearance etc. No one can change their looks. Everyone is equal from the very start. That is why i hates discrimination and prejudice. Who said that blacks are ugly, fat people are stupid, white people are clever and good size people are good? That is only a presumtion. I have this thought that everyone is special in his or her own way and nothing you do can change the way they look. I white man may be stupid and a black man may be clever. Discrimination would let the innocents feel pitiful and sad for themselves. No one is superior and no one is inferior. Prejudice makes people feel discouraged and lonely. People discriminate only because they do not know what it feels to be discriminated. Although i was not discriminated when i was young. i saw how badly treated the discriminated people were. I felt pity for them. That is what i think.
Me: So when you were small did you encounter any discrimination or did you hear any news about it/ If so, how did you react?
mum: As you know, i lived in China and therefore had little interacts with white bullying blacks. However, there wre prejudice against fat people and nerds. Fat people were often ostracized and bullied. When i saw what was happening, at first i was afraid it would happen to me. Then, i felt pity for those people and went out to lend a hand. I simply could not stand the sight of the innocents getting teased around. I as very small at that time and did not understand a lot of things.
Me; Thank you.
