Have you ever been discriminated against?

I have been discrimanated against because I am a woman with a mental illness and suffer seizures - and unfortunately the discrimination comes from those who say they love me the most and want to take the best care of me and that I can trust the most - but there actions don't line up with their words.  I have been denied places to live because I made too much money in a year prior to a year that I had no income whatsoever - I have been denied medicaid because I have no child in my home and yet I have an unlimited amount of expenses!  I was denied shelter at a women's shelter because they could not see any bruises, but I had been a battered wife for five years and finally decided I'd had enough - they told me to come back when it was obvious.  Discrimination happens everyday and it doesn't really matter what color, gender, religion or if you're having sex or not.

yes. I lost a job that way once. They let me start before the police background check came in and they fired me a week later.

I do my best not to stereotype people and I have gotten pretty good at it, but I was guilty of it in the past for sure.  Most of the time my stereotyping is not racial or religious or based on hair color though.  It is more based on social cliques and behaviors and I really do try my hardest to avoid it.

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

No! We never should have had it . Affirmative action is fighting discrimination with discrimination.

There was this one time I was exiting this building with a group of girls and the door guy opened the door for them (being a gentleman I let them exit first), but as soon as I got there he just let it close.  I thought that was discrimination to some extent.

Any one who thinks whites don't get discriminated against is VERY VERY ignorant! Any white person who has grown up as a minority in there area has felt discrimination as bad as any one else. The truth is that discrimination happens to all races. Just because we (yes, I'm white) are the (slowly declining) majority, minorities think that it's just a free ride or something. I get really tired of hearing all the sob stories about how "your ancestors" did this to "my ancestors". I personally haven't lynched, enslaved, stolen land from, or denied anyone, and if discrimination is going to get any better, all races need to focus on ways to better future instead of holding on to the grudges of a bunch of dead guys. The past is the past....I intend on moving forward!

Employment discrimination is alive and well.  Ask any African American or a woman applying for the same job as a man.  I'm sure they'll be able to give you a "yes" answer.  Discrimination exists in housing, banking, employment etc.  As long as there are racists doing the hiring, there will always be discrimination.  What a sad world we live in.

No, but I do think that it is a new form of discrimination.

It's not called discrimination...because some employers have the right to do "ANY" check they would like to do before they hire you. They can do background, credit, income, employer,,,,etc..

I haven't personally but my mom told me that when she was pregnant with me she went and tried to get a part-time job working at the local library and they interviewed her and told her she was perfect for the job and they would love to hire her but they'd been told by the boss that they had to hire an African American. I think also opportunities for ALL kids scholarship/admissions wise can be limited these days with people bent on meeting racial requirements instead of who deserves them. I think colleges/bosses/etc should have blindfolds on when it comes to your skin color no matter what color you are.

I wish there was a way. I know this sounds negative, but it is true. there will always be people out there who discriminate.

I'm in an employment Law class.  Check the EEOC website, and depending on your state, the state agency as well (example: CA is the Cal Fair Housing and Employment agency.)  And there is such a thing as reverse discrimination, there have been cases where people won.  Good luck!
