Rx for Discrimination
13 February 2010
Discrimination is natural and instinctive, but limiting and destructive. It's only
natural to fear and avoid people who appear different. But this fear poisons our
mind, limits our relationships, and destroys our opportunities for growth. So
discrimination victimizes the bigot as well as the object of bigotry. How can we
deal with discrimination? We should expect and accept it as a natural, albeit
hypervigilant, defense mechanism that needs remediation through education,
reassurance, and positive experiences.
