What is Discrimination?

by Yvonne Coverdale in Issues, November 23, 2009

Discrimination covers a vast aray of things from age to spiritual preferances and most everything in between. But what exactly is it when only certain people under certain circumstances are the only ones actually covered under it?

People say it is discrimination to insist that non Americans who come here to work and live to better their lives to speak American English mainly in public, to come here in a legal fashion as our laws dictated, to obey America’s laws, rules and regulations. Yet We don’t condone out-right murder of non-Americans as other countries think nothing of murdering our people in their countries. We opened our hearts and our borders to non Americans and now they think we are weak because of it? No, it is not discrimination to expect those that come to America to learn our ways and practice them in public. It is not discrimination to protect our country by protecting our boarders. For those of you who feel our way of life is wrong for your children, go back home but don’t murder or torture your children for becoming American when you live in America, take our businesses, take our money, eat our food, use our medical facilities, use our school systems and buy our lands so you and your family can have a better life. You are the hypocrites for the wrong in that matter not the Americans.

Discrimination is non respect for other’s ways, whatever those ways may be which the whole world is now guilty of so where will it end?
