Smokers discriminated against

  I think victims who smoke are victims of discrimination. Since they can no longer smoke in there own apartments or condos smokers are forced to have to smoke in there cars or outside. Know even in some bars, smokers are not allowed to smoke, or they have to be completely separated from the non-smokers. So smokers and non-smokers are actually then segregated from each other. Since they are segregated against, it is a act of discrimination.

Primary Colors

I think that the authors’ purpose for writing the story Primary Colors is to inform us what life is like to have people always judging for the color of your skin or your babies skin. 

    Personally I have dealt with diversity multiple times in my life. The high school that I went to was very small. It was so small that in the graduated class of 2008 I was the only Indian kid, actually in the whole school I was one of two other brown kids. I did not really mind being one of the only brown colored kids in the school. It’s not like all of the colored kids in school hung out together and all of the colored kids stuck together but it was a mix between all of us. I never really thought of myself as any different from any of the other kids because my skin color, frankly because my skin is not that dark anyways.  But I also never really thought of myself as completely equal to all the other kids. So being a minority at my school helped me deal diversity.
