I conducted an interview on my father and this transcript of it.
ME: What do you think prejudice and discrimination is about?
Prejudice is a mindset or a belief that is factually wrong of a certain person.
Discrimination would be unfair or unequal treatment towards a group of people or a particular person.
ME: Can you state some examples of prejudice?
Well, for example, farmers are uneducated and teachers are more upright than the man on the street. And in school, passive students might be deemed as proud or just plain problematic and people who have a certain hairstyle or are dressed in a certain way are flirtatious or 'nerdy'.
ME: Can you state some examples of discrimination?
For example, the school admission is based on the social standing of the parents, and certain exclusive clubs permit membership based on the social status of people, whereby they have to be holding on to prestigious positions in society such as a chief executive officer, lawyer, surgeons and financial controllers, which are mostly high-salaried jobs, are allowed such privileges.
ME: Have you ever experienced discrimination?
Fortunately, I have not experienced any form of discrimination yet, or probably I have but I just could not recall.
