Should we teach DISCRIMINATION ?



Just a tiny thought, not a lengthy blog...

Since Discrimination is a huge problem for some, here's a good thought about how discrimination can be reduced further in our societies. Racism and Casteism should not be taught in schools. Just think of it. If the new generation was not even aware that blacks are considered inferior? That there is something called Discrimination. People discriminate because they know what it is. What if they don’t? They have been taught that Blacks are discriminated. At least it is one of the reasons. They who never do discriminate also know that blacks are being discriminated and might discriminate in critical conflicts. On the other side, the disadvantage of black knowing it is there as well. Suppose a white calls a black "hey see that blacky girl!" the girl would definitely feel offensive. But if instead a black girl calls a white like this, he won't be offended. Why? Because both blacks and whites know that Blacks only are considered inferior, not whites. What if both of them didn’t know?

If future generations wouldn’t know what discrimination is, they will never even discriminate in critical situations. They will not even know about it. That would bring blacks in an even better position than now. Blacks today, are in an advantage as compared to past but still there’s alot discrimination going on. We can only reduce discrimination to an extent through teaching about it but we might be able to eradicate this problem completely if we think it this way....
