Be equal (dan lu)

I think this article can reflect author’s inner emotion well. The author used several metaphors to spread what he wanted to say. He is an Arab. When he lived in England, he heard about something bad of Arab. It’s just bias. From his experience, I remember the ethnic discrimination problems.
As the ethnic discrimination is a long history problem, many people struggle for it. Not only happens in America, but also in many other countries. In 1862, Lincoln liberated black slaves. It was completely buried in the slavery in the United States. The long overdue emancipation of slaves finally became true. However, the discrimination still exists in modern society. Although there are many laws to restrain, the phenomenon still occurs from time to time.
Equity is a long overdue thing. People can’t choose what their countries are, they can’t choose what color they are, they can’t choose what families they born. However, they can choose the way they live. Many people try their best to prove themselves. They want to be accepted. They don’t want their status affect their performance. On the other hand, we can’t deny any person by personal issues. We should treat everyone equal. Society is a big family. It needs every people to make contributions. People should unite rather than mutual repel. However, I know, it actually needs time.

I am so glad to say your view about prejudices and equality, we cant control something we born to be, but we can choose what we believe. The time to give everyone liberty still far away from us,but one day it will come true

I agree with your idea. The ethnic discrimination is a big problem in the world for a long time. Although it is better than before, it is still an intractable problem. we need to equal to everyone.
