纯正英语一分钟-discrimination

I don’t understand discrimination. To me, it’s evil. How can you not think that all people are the same? It doesn’t matter what kind of discrimination it is, it’s all terrible. People who discriminate¹ because of other people’s race, sex or age should be named and shamed. I think there should be really strong laws against all forms of discrimination. Racism² is horrible. What difference does it make what colour your skin is? The thing that surprises me is that even in the most cosmopolitan³ cities, racism is everywhere. Sexual discrimination is also stupid. Sexist people have sisters, mothers, wives, daughters; but they still treat women as being less able. I wonder if we'll ever live in a world where we’re all equal.
