Weqinfo,
You have a very good point here. What's more. The vicious cycle is the ones who have been the subject of precevied discrimination usually go on to discriminate others when they reach certain socialecnomic status. They were so eager to get accepted, and overly sensitive becuase they were in a minority group. But once they think they have finally arrived at what they preceived as acceptance, they start to dsicriminate others who are still trying.
Shanghai is an immgirant's city. Why prejudice is so pervasive among Shanghainese? One big reason is lot of them come from faimlies that are the subjects of discrimination years ago. This cycle just goes on. In order to break it, the new comer also need to have a mind set that they wont do the same to others when they finally settle down in the city.
Discrimination is a tricky enemy and it exists everywhere as long as there is cultures and differences. Taking morale from the WSJ article, we all should start from ourselves to make sure you will not discriminate. |
