Have you ever wonder how people that are discriminated feel? Well I am sure that a person that is treated differently from the rest does not feel happy or excited! Today my blog will be about a story of a family that was discriminated, feelings, what happens with the persons self -esteem and my opinion. I am sure that everyone heard about the tragedy that took place in Wilmington on January 27, 2009. A Ervin Lupoe killed his wife, kids (8-year-old daughter and two sets of twins 5-year-old girls and 2-year-old boys) and committed suicide. His family looked like victims of a psycho person. Many neighbors of the family said that they had a lot of problems and a lot of stress. Ervin Lupoe and his wife worked at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in West Los Angeles and had lost their job couple of days before the tragedy, according to a conflict that has been mentioned but in the mans letter says that Ervin Lupoe had felt discriminated. The Ervin Lupoe wrote a letter and in this letter he wrote that was told by the administrator `You should not even had bothered to come to work today you should have blown your brains out.’ (If you want to now more about thefamily click here.)Many news reporters tried to get declarations from Kaiser Permanente Hospital but all they did was write a letter showing how sad they were and never mention about what the administrator said. Ervin Lupoe was depressed because this comment is traumatic. Discriminators make these types of comments or worse to make the person feel less than what they are and this way decreasing their self -esteem. Victims like Mr. Loupe feel depress, and that they don’t belong in this world. Mrs. Loupe was depressed to and they both decided that Mr. Loupe would kill her and her children. These decision was taken because Mr. and Mrs. Loupe did not wanted to leave their children with strangers. Like the Loupe’s story are many more and worst. In my opinion the Administrator had no right to make that horrifying comment and should thought about Mr. Loupe’s children that had no fault of their parents problems. The administrator had no right even though the couple had committed a crime. We are no one to judge, discriminate, or hate, God is the only one who can judge. Do not discriminate!!

Discrimination between love
February is a month for all those who are in love. Today my blog will be about discrimination between love and the consequences of discrimination. A movie named” Amarte duele” (Loving you hurts) is a movie that talks about discrimination (click here to see a short resume of this movie). In this case are differences of classes (high- rich, middle- kind of rich, low- poor). In Mexico City there is a word that is offensive for poor people which is naco (A naco is usually associated with lower socio-economic classes. This according to wikipedia.org) naco is used in the movie “Amarte duele.” Naco is usually used to lower a person’s self-esteem. In this movie the consequence of discrimination is death. In many other cases running away, succeeding, killing others and becoming addicted is a way out of discrimination. These can be consequences of discrimination. “He is not good for you, look how he dresses; he is poor that way he won’t even be able to buy your own house, I want something better for you.” These are the words of parents that say that they want a better future for their child, but don’t see that what they are saying is called discrimination. That is the case of my cousin Jairo; he has a girlfriend which is my cousin on my father’s side and he is discriminated by her parents because of the way Jairo dresses. My cousin’s have to see each other in secret. Love is an important thing in our everyday life, if a human does not feel loved the best way of finding love is addictions or death. A good example is building a pyramid with shelter, food, clothing and health but love. If something in the pyramid is missing there is a big probability the pyramid will fall which symbolizes self-esteem. I am not a parent but I am a teenager who sees others experiences and sadness. Parents should let their teenagers choose who they love not who is in a high class in order to have a good future or best dressed of course if their teenager’s love is respectful, clean and not obsessive. When a parent deprives their teenager’s freedom of loving to choose who is best for them the consequences may be fatal. Love and let others love and do not discriminate!!!

Discriminated when moving to a new country!!!
discriminated.
When people change to a different country is really hard because they have to get use to a new lifestyle, culture, language, and new people. It’s even harder if discrimination is one of the biggest problems in that country. Today my blog will be about people moving to a new country where discrimination is a big character. A lot of people move to a different countries to have a change in their life but in some places this reason is not enough so people move to their country and decide to discriminate. Discrimination is a problem in the whole world. In Mexico City there is a lot of discrimination against Indigenous (people that are native Mexican). In channel 54 programs called lo que callamos las mujeres is a program that talks about the woman’s rights, how some woman break the silence and talk how they are discriminated. Well in this program a case was shown which was a case of an indigenous the women’s name was Maria she had her boy friend and a baby on the way. Maria and her boy friend where going to live in the city, and were waiting for the bus that was going to take them to Mexico City, her boy friend went to buy food. Just then a lady gets close to Maria and tells her if she can take care of her suitcase, because that she had been robbed but was nervous so she wanted to go to the ladies room to wash her face. Maria said sure meanwhile cops where looking for the lady. The cops saw Maria talking with the suspect and accused her of complicity of drug dealing. But Maria didn’t know what was in the suitcase. The cops took her in and since Maria did not know how to read and write the cops discriminated her and made her sign a paper where she declared that she was guilty and had to do with drug dealing. The lady of the suitcase was not in jail instead of Maria. This is a case where I can’t believe that native Mexicans are discriminated by the same Mexicans just because they weren’t thought to read and write. But thanks to those that care about indigenous and are against discrimination helped out Maria. My question is what makes a person different if it’s just that the person was thought and was born in a different place? A person is still a human even though the person has different cultures and different language. A person that discriminates does this because the discriminator feels bigger and better than the victim. Discrimination is a bad way to treat a person, and if this problem keeps on growing instead of a peaceful world we will have a world full of hate.

Discrimination
“Look how she dresses.” These are the words of a person who discriminates other people that look or are different from them. In my blog we will learning about different types of discriminations, why are people discriminators, is it wrong or right, the consequences, and much more. I had a lot of experiences with discriminators and it’s not a good experience because people’s feelings get hurt, also their self-esteem decreases’. One day, I was at the store this lady wanted to order meat, she spoke Spanish but the girl in the store did not speak Spanish and told the lady “sorry but I don’t understand, next person in line!” I went ahead and translated for her. This blog is for those that are interested to learn about discrimination and how to help stop people from being discriminated.
