    Discrimination is still among our world today, and stays a constant issue. Many people would argue this accusation, and try to believe that the world today is better than it was years ago, but the fact is that it is still the same. Discrimination is not just among races or ethnic groups, it is among different genders, religions, and marriage partners. Today people argue about discrimination all of the time. Why is it still among us? What can be done? Why don’t we just let it be?

In my defense, it is my assumption that the two local businesses that I applied for did not hire because of either race or religion. At each business I went to the store and applied in person.

The girl who was with me is “Thai”, the reason why I quoted the word “Thai” is because she was raised in a Thai setting, but was actually in blood Laotian, like I am. When we applied together we talked to manager and as we were both conversing…
