Ruby Bridges: Different Types Of Discrimination

Knowledge- From what I have understood discrimination is when you judge someone by something that doesn't have to do with the content of the character but a feature someone is born with or given and can’t change.
I now know a lot about discrimination after watching many movies and reading many books. One of the movies that I watched was Ruby Bridges. In that movie ruby was discriminated at the “white” school just because of her race. One of the books I read was called “Mahatma Gandhi.” He was discriminated by the color of his skin. He even lead a march to stand up for himself and others but yet he was still judged. There are many different types of discrimination, here are what they are: Age, Disability, Equal Pay, Genetics, Natural Origin,

Most people disliked him or as I should say they discriminated him for his indian background. This form of discrimination is called natural origin discrimination. But movies and books aren't the only place. My dad works at the Portland Police Department and sometimes I will hear him talking about how people protest about racism. So when they protest about it they are referring to race/color discrimination. Also in class we have been reading a lot about discrimination. Most commonly about race/color discrimination. One of my favorite books was called “Me, Mama Dentist.” this was my favorite because it was very fun and interesting to read but yet it was very powerful and it made me think about it. The story was about how the mamas child had very rotted teeth and tried to go the a white dentist and mama was almost sure the dentist would let her come in because she donated money to him to help him build it. But yet the dentist refused and mama was furious. That book is an example of race/color discrimination. These are the places iv’e seen
