12 years a slave

12 years a slave, first a novel, then a movie. This novel take place in the united states, in their years of the black slaves as a legal business. A free man is kidnapped by slave traders, who make the business legal by sending them to boats for their selling to white men or millionaires who want slaves for hard work or only for servants. There are constant racist jokes or songs, they treat the black man as a beast, even saying that monkeys know the same as them. In my personal opinion, I think this people were stupid by thinking like that.

Discrimination in our school

Only a year ago, we had an USA partner in our class. This person was my friend in good and bad times. He went to our School at 5th grade. His problem? He was fatter from the rest of us. He was product of discrimination from 5th grade to 1th medio, year that he went back to the United States, were he got his friends. A particular case were some class partners who constantly were discriminating him only for his physical appearance. I still talk with him sometimes by the internet, he's happy in his country now.

 It's different because this person has a different skin color and facial features that differ from ours. Years ago, a person with this physical would had been downplayed and judged by our society due to ethnocentrism, also because people with those features were something that the society was not used to see. In other side, this person can fit perfectly in our society, because me and my friends are not racist persons, so we'll not treat him in special form or things like that.
