Interview

Me: What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone mentions prejudice and discrimination?
Mother: It is something that is negative and one-sided. And generally intolerable and void of respect for the human race.
Me: Void of respect for the human race.. Can you explain more on that?
Mother: Everyone is entitled to their own rights and opinion, and once should not demand or deny another of the right to think otherwise.
Me: How does that link to void of respect for the human race?
Mother: For example, women in general are as capable as men. But if the organisation just employs males and deny the women of the opportunity to serve in society. We should not doubt the capabilites of women.
Me: So you are basically talking about the void of respect of women?
Mother: Not only women, but what I'm highlighting is equal rights. Everyone to me, is important.
Me: I see..
*sister returns home*
Me: Oh hi jie. What's your take on prejudice and discrimination?
Sister: Hmm. I feel that those who say that they are not prejudiced against someone or don't discriminate people, are hypocrites.
Me: Wow. Strong take on the matter.
Sister: Everyone is unique, so we are definitely have some people who dislike or prefer compared to others. It's scientifically proven that our heart is more to the left. That shows that we are not always centralised in our thoughts. I always use that to counter people who accuse me of being biased.
Mother: How do you feel when you are being denied entry to a certain club or activity, due to some prejudices, for this case, against women?
Sister: So be it. I mean, like everywhere there'll be rules, so you have to abide to what they say. Because there definitely has to be a reason why they implement these rules. Maybe this area is very prone to robbery, so they feel it's not suitable, as most ladies would not be able to defend themselves.
Mother: I beg to differ. We must have a fighting spirit to uphold the principled stand that "I am important enough to be heard and treated with dignity."
Sister: By saying that, you are pushing for equal rights. But some rights don't have to be equal.
Mother: Yes they do. Do you like it if a waiter treats you with a bad attitude because you are not wearing your best clothes, while she treats another person better because her dress is very expensive?
Sister: I think dressing is very important.
Mother: That's not the point. My point is, the core value of a person is not based on his appearance. Everyone has to be recognized and affirmed. We will be amazed at how positively people will react if we treat them with fairness and dignity.
Sister: There's nothing about fairness and dignity in this world. You have to work for it, work your way out of it.
Me: ???
Mother: By sheer determination we can prove and champion for equal rights and recognition. So that the Earth will be a better place to live in.
Sister: But sheer determination..
Me: I think that wraps up the interview. Life is unfair, but GOD IS GOOD! (:
