Well, I just completed a simple interview with my grandfather concerning hios views on Prejudice and Discrimination.
Interview:
JK: What do you think is prejudice in your opinion?
Grandpa: Prejudice is the root cause of misunderstanding. For example, in a multiracial nation like Singapore, it can create social unrest.
JK: What are your views on discrimination, then? How does it, well, begin?
Grandpa: Discrimination destroys fair play or equality, social equality, gender equality. It stirs up hatred among those who are discriminated against. Consequently, social harmony will break down. Discrimination often results from prejudice.
JK: Are there any instances in History where Prejudice or discrimination is shown?
Grandpa: Several decades ago, the American Blacks, due to cultural and social prejudice, were discriminated against in their work place, politics or even daily lives which happened even in the United States of America. 40 years ago though, when I was in school in the early 1970s in the USA, Black men on the streets seen with white women were beaten, sometimes to the death. However, even now, there was some unrest when President Barrack Obama ran for presidency.
JK: Is prejudice and discrimination wrong? In your opinion of course.
Grandpa: 你是不是在开玩笑？
