I've talked with friends in a class about discirimination and racism. In my opinion, such topics are from people's cultural differences, vanity of an own culture and narrow view of the world. Each individual has own culture and difference of looking.
Thesedays, if you can't understand and accept that difference of culture and looking, you can't live on the Earth, especially in multi-cultural countries like here. Actually, in case of me, I couldn't image that I can be a friend of black or white people and even I afraid of them because I've never talked with any foreigners in Korea. Even if I saw a foreigner on the street, he or she were looked strangely and eccentricaly. I think such my behavious were because of my narrow view of the world. But after I came here, I awared and impressed about the world's lots of cultures and people. Then I regreted my stupid behaviours. Now, the world is opened and every cultures are opened. But I don't know why some people's mind are not opened yet.... so poor them....

Thanks for sharing your personal experience on the topic. I'm glad your time in Canada has taught you more than English!
Hi Jungwon
It’s good that you are comfortable with others now. But the people that are not open yet may still need time to be adapted like what you.
Good luck on your research.
Hey Jungwon!so good that Montreal opened your mind...and you could see that there is much more in this world!bye
Hey Jungwon
I also met this kind of things. Last year, when I worked in restaurant and somebody want order some food, he ask me by french. So I said' sorry, could you speak french.' The later what he said gonna kill me. He said ' if your don't know french, why you stay in Montreal. He think only french speakers can stay here, he thinks french speakers are better them other. At that time, I want to kill him.
