prejudice
. is racial discrimination existent in your country?.
over christmas lunch, discussion turned into the on-going racial tension in australia. it was a good segue to talk about the prevalence of discrimination and the manners we have seen, heard and felt it. somehow, i got the end of a question, ' do you have discrimination in your country?'
i believe there will always be racial discrimination regardless of where one is. the mere fact that we are similar yet so different from each other will always stoke the fire of indifference. my country is no different. depending on one's ethnicity, social strata, age range or even the shape of our nose, one is either in or out.
i will always be different from the next person beside me. and you will always be not who i would like you to be. that's how are ... bar none, we are prejudiced. its the degree by which we show it or how we let rule our lives that make the difference.

is that the effect of working abroad and working with people from different cultures--you have racial prejudice as a lunchtime topic? i must say, i would need to sharpen my claws then if and when i do get to work offshore :)
