Discrimination must die!!

I just wrote a 4686-word essay using 92 references . . for an assignment that asked for 2000 words and 5 references.

I think he was talking to me. ><

Segue: Canadian fired

Comments

I would rather kill...

...unhealthy discrimination rather than all discrimination......smiles and wonders if this is too nitpicky ... With no discrimination we might accept just anything. I agree, though, that too often the atypical person who doesn't fit into the approved sterotype gets the axe, figuratively or literally, and the one who fits and conforms to the approved mold is showered with approval and rewards.

I agree also that disrespecting someone on so shallow a basis is sad and disgusting, saying much more about the disrespecter than the target. I have not been watching the current Apprentice season myself, so I will keep my comments (relatively) brief. ...thinks I have been on the brief side myself on occasion with interesting results...

Perhaps the firing of The Canadian speaks more to his strengths and positive qualities as well as to the superficial qualities of his detractors......wonders where the previous seasons' winners are and where their success on the show has taken them... From the perspective of one who knows little of the current details, I realize these comments may very well seem naive and not very well-informed.....resolves to check out the show for future reference... Perhaps The Russian does have a chance at that!

Heh, the subject was just parodying "Romeo Must Die" . . love that title but that movie must die. But you brought up a very good point about discrimination. I guess I just usually use the word as a catch-all for bullying or segregating people because they are not like you.

I was reading around for other people's reaction to the firing, and I found a very insightful opinion at blackenterprise.com. ^^ Here's an excerpt: "His problem was not the discrimination he faced, but his obsession with it. By the fourth task, Brent was so convinced of the bias against him that he couldn’t see past it. In fact, he began to see it even when it wasn’t there, allowing every slight to become personal." The rest is here if you wanna check it out. :) As I was telling werewolf_song above, The Canadian had a right to be angry, but his flaw was that he couldn't control it and he wasn't good at articulating his complaints. I just wish he was given a chance to prove himself rather than being ignored from the get-go.

You should definitely check out the show! It's not really story based so it's easy to pick up anywhere, and you can learn so much about marketing, business and public relations from it.
