偏见就是这样形成的
我完全理解搂主的感受。不过,以一些印巴人的不良行为推论出所有印巴人的品质不好,这一思维过程刚好揭示了“偏见”的形成过程。而“偏见”对于人类来说从来都是理解和沟通的障碍。 比如,某些中国人犯罪,于是有些爱“以偏概全”的加拿大人会说:中国移民犯罪率高;某些中国人不知道要排队,不注意公共卫生,于是有偏见说:中国人不排队,不注意公共卫生,素质低。某些中国人老乡坑老乡,于是中国人对于所有的老乡都不信任了。如此推论的结果,轻一点是会有交流问题,文化冲突;重一点,可能形成歧视(种族歧视,性别歧视,宗教歧视。。。) 人是很容易产生偏见的。关键是对自己和他人的判断多问问题,多怀疑自己和他人的判断和观点,这样否定之否定多了,就不容易“一叶障目”。 引用:

Patriotism is questionable
It is not human nature that everybody is biased. It is just a human defecit that most people are biased. In Canada, the immigrants from China and India and Pakistan are all called Asian. Remember that. Stereotype is everywhere. What you are trying to do is one practice of it. The practice to eliminate stereotype, prejudice, and discrimination relies on all of us. To eliminate one steretype does not contribute to this practice. We have to understand that the human construction of society, whether in the name of socialism or in the name of capitalism, is the resource of all social inequality and social unjustice. Therefore, there is no such thing as to eliminate one kind of discrimination against Chinese only. That won't help at all. If you really want to eliminate discrimination against Chinese, you have to work with Indians, Pakistanians, Japanese, the Black, gay, lesbian, the disabled, the poor, etc. together we could make difference. Otherwise, the efforts to eliminate any social unjustice will doom to fail. 引用:

Human nature or human deficit? And who is not biased?
Which word you are using just like your different shoes or dresses, people can see or read who you are or what opinion you have. Thus, the "choice of words" is important. Human nature, my understanding is something that all human being is born to have. Therefore, you cannot convince me that being biased is part of human nature. The reason is simple, people are taught to be biased, people are not born to be biased. Thus, people can be taught to be not biased as well. I cannot say that I am not biased, but I am learning not to be biased. I believe that the way to be NOT biased is possible, if you learn to "know thyself". Therefore it occurs to me that you and Mr. Bush have more in common than I and Mr. Bush, as far as our opinions about prejudice are concerned. I am not criticizing your conflict with the Indian motel owners, if I were you, I would be angry as well. However, I am trying to say that you cannot stereotype all Indians because of that. By doing that, you are doing the same thing as the Americans did after 911. I just wanted to remind you that people are easily to be biased. The awareness of our own prejudice will help us learn not to be biased. However, I disagree with you that because that other people are biased, therefore you are OK to be biased. You can not justify it that way. 引用:
