S.1.Have you faced
discrimination, if yes,
what kind?Jes, have
faced racial
discrimination. I was
clearly refused
service had my
service delayed while
dinin#out. 7nce while in
colle#e in 6 and once
in while in #raduate
school in &outh frica.
*here have
!eencountless other
times !ut those were
the two most
rominent and
undenia!le cases.2. If
not, what kind of
discrimination have you
witnessed?I have
heard that my race is
la y 9which is funny
since our la!or !uilt this
country: and that we
are thu#s.I have also
heard that we only
want handouts instead
of ta in# care of
ourselves..3.How has
discrimination chan#ed
or evolved over your
lifetime?I not sure that
it has chan#ed much in
my lifetime. I see more
diversity in the school
and nei#h!orhoods !it
that is a!out
all.U.Have you faced d
iscrimination,
if yes, what kind?
0&ome eo le make
fun of my accent.
0Jes, at %o!
laces, you have to do
!etter than
your non;minority
collea#ues to receive
a sufficient reward. *o
ut it in another way,
your white collea#ues
do nothave to !e
e+cellent to
!e reco#ni ed, !ut as a
minority, you have to !e
e+cellent to receive
reco#nition. N.If not,
what kind of
discrimination have
you
witnessed?0*here s a
rofessor at my school
who is !lack. When he
was enterin# the
elevator, a
whitecleaner sto ed
him and said,
V&tudents are
not allowed to take
the elevator. *he
rofessor said, VI m
nota student, I m
a rofessor here. *he
same collea#ue told
me that his white
collea#ues would elect
muchyoun#er and
ine+ erienced white
mem!ers of the
de artment to
im ortant
ositions. E.How wou
ld you classify
this discrimination?0I
would classify it as lack
of eFuity and eFual
o ortunity. 18.What
kind of stereoty es
did you hear a!out your
race?0Hardwor in#,
#ood at math, all #ood
cooks, loud, ti#er
arents. 0)hinese
eo le are #ood
atmath, !ad at
#rammar and
ronunciation, arents
are ti#er moms and
dads, and that chinese
eo le usetheir
dishwashers as a
stora#e. *hey re all
nearsi#hted and wear
#lasses and have
chinky eyes and
#oodskin. *hey like to
lay in#; on# and
they re
nerds. 11.How has
discrimination chan#ed
or evolved over your
lifetime?0When I was
a student a lady at the -
e#istrar s 7ffice said
somethin# I didn t
understand. Iasked,
Vcan you re eat what
you said? &he
re eated at an
e+cruciatin#ly slow
ace, as if I were
an idiot.(ater on, when
I #o sho in#, at the
re#isters, some of
the cashiers look at me
with wrinkled eye!rows
asif they are !racin#
themselves to hear my
!roken en#lish. Kut now
at least at my
work lace, the
ma%orityof eo le
don t discriminate
a#ainst me !ecause I
have a doctorate
de#ree, teach well, and
esta!lished inthe
work lace. &o a lot
of times discrimination
ha ens due to lack of
knowled#e.
12.
If you were to create a
theatrical erformance
on your su!%ect, what
would you want it
toinclude? 0I would
want to include how
hard minorities have to
work to !e reco#ni ed
to the samede#ree as
their white collea#ues.
Cven if they work
harder and do
more, they may not
receive thesame
amount of reward.
I would want to ortray
the lack of confidence
and sometimes
di#nity !ecause of
what s mentioned
a!ove.
