Currently, due to coronavirus, people
stay at home for safety reasons. And I hope everyone takes good care of themselves,
family, and friends. Occasionally, people go out for necessities, some
people are suffering from discrimination. I watched a video that an Asian man
was humiliated in the supermarket just because he looks like Asian. This is the
same case in the reading “Fight the Tower”. Valverde was hindered to ask for
help for her health condition or pregnancy period, bothered by unreasonable
case, humiliated by colleges, and threatened tenure. The major cause of these
suffers was due to the discrimination of her ethnicity and gender as a female Vietnamese
immigrant. These unfair treatments to her had huge negative impacts on her
physical and psychological health. But she was brave enough to fight back and
raise people’s awareness of the issue. She utilized the resources from
students, community, administration, and college to fulfill the goal. However,
in reality, not every appeal will be successful. But at least we should
have the courage to reach out to the resources, spread out the stories,
and try to call for attention when the unfair treatments happen.
Question:
Is discrimination happen only because
people are different?
