Why Do People Discriminate Against Others? by zboyd: 6:06pm On Dec 05, 2014
discrimination - treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit.

People discriminate through words, actions and conduct against groups they feel are different or inferior. But what is to be gained from saying or doing things that would hurt people directly or indirectly?

And...why do people who were once discriminated against, now discriminate against others?

What of you?

Have you ever experienced any discrimination based on age, economic status, educational level, gender, nationality, physical appearance, race, religion, sexuality, social class, etc.?

If yes, how did it make you feel?

Humans are wired to be tribal. The other ones are seen as a danger of some sought. Racism is just a modern form of tribalism. Doesn't bother me coz poeple discriminating usually are not my associations anyway.
