Why is it okay to discriminate? — Monday, 14 November 2005 If you woke up and you were the weiro, would it still be okay? Do you know how to solve racism? Make everyone white. That seems to be the mentallity today. Instead of preaching tolerance, we are trying to make everyon look the same. Such as dresscodes in public shcools even and stuff. By trying to make everyone look the same we even further alienate the people that are different. Why can't we just let the people who are different be? Just as long as they aren't hurting anyone. How often do you see Liberal people trying to take rights away from conservitive people? Predjuce is usually a taught response to things that are unfamilliar or different from them. Some people automatic reaction to things they haven't seen before or don't understand is to not like it. It's okay to not like things. It's okay to not like people. Everyone has stuff they don't like. It's not okay to treat people differently, especially worse than others simply because you don't like them. Instead of saying "sticks and stones will break your bones but words won't hurt you" We are teaching people to get offended by stuff. Uniformity creates unity, but it also creates predjudice against those who are different. We can't force everyone to be the same. Everyone isnt' the same. We can't make everyone the same by trying to force them to look alike either. They still act different. Then they just feel humiliated for having to look that certain way. In the military there are rules about haveing a haircut that presents an extreme apearance. And "extreme" colors aren't allowed in your hair or on your nails. ( guys can't even hav their nails painted, wich is gender-discrimination, but that's a whole other issue ) One of the extreme colors listed is white, what make a color extreme anyway? If they want everyone to look the same, everyone should have to shave their heads, cuz everyones hair is different. And then they would have to do something about the whole skin color thing too. Then make everyone go through classed so they all talked the same too. Everyone in the military talks differently since how they are from all parts of the country. So they would need to get rid of all the accents and teach everyon to talk the same. Have to do something about their voices too. It's all totally ridiculous. Anyway, they say no extreme haircut's or styles. But they don't really mean that. It just makes it sound good on paper. It's a good concept, people on one side of the spectrum often don't get along with the other side, so having everyone look moderate should help eliminate that bias causing the giveing the naturally predjudice people nothing to go by when they look at people. It's a great idea, on paper, and in theory. Too bad they don't actually follow it. They allow people to have extremly conservative apperances all the time. Rings are allowed as long as they are wedding rings or of conservative apperance. Extremely conservative haircuts aren't only toollerated but encouraged. I think it's degrading to look like that. Just as they would think it's degrading if they had to look like I would look if they got rid of gender-discrimination and quit forcing everyon too look conservative. By setting those type of regulations it makes it seem okay to be prejudice against the people who don't look how they make everyone else look. People in the military, as well as most other places can talk bad about people who look differently or dress differently than the whole conservative appearance thing and nothing happens to them. They can talk bad about other people's lifesyles and cultures and things like, in front of formations, and nothing happens to them. cuz it's okay to be biased against somepeople. But they get awefully mad if you talk bad about them, and their cultures and lifestyles. Cuz it's not right to make fun of them, so it's a good chance you will get in serioius trouble. We should just celebrate the fact that everyone's different. People just need to accept the fact that you can't make everyone look the same, and it won't have a negative influine on good order and discapline if they don't. Right now, there are lots of different ways people can look, and still good order and discapline is kept. They break their own rules anyway, so the ones they do make people follow are only cuz they are prejudice against the people who don't look like they do. The whole thing breeds prujudice. It spreads into other people cuz they act like it's better to look oneway than another. And the people who look like them are better than everyon else, and it's bad to look different. If you look at someone and think you know how they simply because what they look like then you are stupid. How people look, only says something about their fashion sense. It doesn't show how nice, mean, smart, stupid, or anyghing how a person is. That's like saying as soon as you cut your hair a certain way, you become smarter or stupider. Have you ever walked out of the barbershop and just felt either really smart all of a sudden? Or maybe walked out and all of suddenly you had serious homicidal urges. Maybe you tried on the wrong pair of pants oneday and for about ten seconds while you had them on, you felt the need to smoke some pot. Or sniff some coke. I hate it when that happens. If I ever you ever get pulled over for speeding, try saying "I'm sorry, I put the wrong shirt on today, so all of a sudden, I don't care about the speed limit." Do you think he will understand? Because if people look "right" they will act right too? But then if people look "wrong" they will act wrong too? If you really think that, test your theory out. Go get some clothes that people wear that you think are like "bad people" or what ever, dye your hair purple, or blue or something, spike it up, get some fake clipon peircings put them in your eyes or nose or something. Do this for a week or day or however long you can stand to do it. And see if how differntly you act. If you turn really stupid all of a sudden, or become really violent, ( other than the result of people harrassing you) or feel the need to do drugs ( other than from wanting to feel better and relax as a result of people harrassing you all day ) Or you personality changes in some negative way, maybe there's something to it. If there is let me know. feel free to write me. I appreciate your feed back.
