Discrimination Pie Chart

I made a survey titled "Discrimination in Border Cities" to see what type of new information I could learn about this polemic issue. One of the main topics I was interested in was to see what was the biggest type of discrimination suffered on both the Northern and Southern border cities. As expected, around 61,5% of the people answered the were mostly victims of racism. Unexpectedly however, ageism was the second most common form of discrimination, followed by Religious and Sexual Orientation Discrimination. Around 25 people have answered the survey so far, all participants being residents of cities near the U.S./Mexico Border, or the U.S./Canadian Border.

Here's the link to the survey in case anyone else is interested in participating!

Discriminating the ugly, the old, the brown, the black, etc...

Many would argue that is it unfair for people to judge you on your looks. For some, a person may be ugly, for others that same person may be beautiful. A beautiful person can have an ugly personality, and an "ugly" person can have a beautiful personality. Just like judging people on their outer beauty isn't fair, judging people on their race, skin color, religion, age, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality is not fair...

Discrimination as an Issue

For many years, discrimination in general has been a large polemic topic discussed by many, yet it is an issue that continues to hunt all societies. Cities on borders, such as those on the U.S./Mexico border (Ex: El Paso, Texas or San Diego, California), or cities in the U.S./Canada border, such as Buffalo, New York, and other cities around that area. The purpose of this blog is to discuss the different types of discrimination in these cities, and the effects and causes it has on individuals and society as a whole.
