I admit this one made me debate for abit before I was able to decide upon on how to proceed with not just my opinion, but, a reply that made sense to how my mind thinks.
I mean, to decide which suffers worse, someone being discriminated against based upon their gender or someone being discriminated against due to their race, can not actually be justified by any reply or opinion given.
Yet, I write for the racism side in this instance. As to why? I will try and explain.
Despite whether you are born a man or a woman(born homosexual) you life is controlled by others beyond your home life. If you are a woman, you are raised to behave in a set manner(or used to be) as well as being born a man meant you had certain responsibilities(of which they begrudged the woman at having to do to begin with) Come on, be fair and admit it. You hate having to go to work if a man because it is what a man does and the woman(begrudges the man for having to the WIFELY DUTIES) At least, that WAS LIFE. Until laws changed and made it equal for WOMEN AND MEN. Each can work. Each can say "NO" and FILE CHARGES if they are FORCED.(personally, other than underage, willing teenage sex with an older man or woman, I am unable to see the MALES BEING FORCED, because from how I understand it, if you do not want it, it stays limp, you get me?)
Now, that this bit of unpleasantness is out there, let's focus on the RACISM side of this question. Woman or man, choices are equalized pretty much today.
However, in the case of other "ISMS" it is not so equal. The people isms alone boggles my mind. Because a person is from a country, all have suspicion over past incidents of another that hailed from there. If you are of a different faith or worship. There are difficulties. I know all are aware of THAT particular issue plaguing our world. I must mention it here because it is part of the discrimination of the RACES. THAT creates issues within the race over their beliefs of what is allowed for men and women of that race.(This is in some races, not all, but, I thought it be prudent I mention this now.)
However, despite the internal issues concerning races, we are all harmed by the racism of the others outside of the race. Those that have issues due to the color of the skin. We most all have friends and co workers that are of different races. Yet, should you attempt to have lunch with these friends at a place that does not like people of that race, it causes heart ache and anger. All of us suffer from
