Topic Reading-Vol.1533-6/22/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Prejudice is not always overt
Prejudice seems like an unavoidable behavior, whether it is recognized or not. It could be towards a person from a foreign country, of a different religion or with an opposing political view, not to mention to those of a different gender or race.
Classifying people by appearance, race, nationality, background or social position is a matter of common practice of stereotype. But acting or reacting based on the pre-set view is prejudice, whether it is intended or not. It could lead to discrimination, or aggression to some extent.
Enjoy reading and learning about this hard-to-remove human practice.
