The video about Gingers from Thursdays class got me thinking about the mental ramifications one encounters when experiencing extreme discrimination. It effects all levels of thought. It makes one assume the role of inferior, of never being good enough. Just this sentiment will greatly effect the one a mind works. This constant persecution is easy to keep up as well, as after a while the treatment becomes commonplace on both sides, and the reasons for the discrimination start to seem true. The persecuted group emulates their sentiments, because they are never allowed to amount to anything more worthwhile. Someone who started as equal is made unequal just because of a distinguishing characteristic. It's a very sad thing to ponder.
