i dont want to be discriminated...

As an individual you can treat me as special.. But do not put me in any group and discriminate me as that stereotype... (does anyone get what i am saying here).

something i have been  thinking about.  generally, people dont like it, when they are discriminated, criticized, as an individual, or as a group.

The groups can be, based on the region you were born in, citizenship, gender, skin color, caste (a system which exists mostly in India, but that's like 1/6th of world population), based on your education or lack of it, marital status, age, whether you have all your limbs organs or not, color of your hair/beard, the type of music you like, or a disease like 'Uner Tan syndrome'...

and nobody likes to be discriminated on the basis of being part of such a group.  but stereotypes are not easy to overcome. 

sometimes, you can be positively discriminated, due to your belonging to a group.  people with white skin can get automatic extra respect / value in some countries.  sometimes a gender gets more privilege (though its very rare in India).. 
and sometimes, you get extra privilege, due to some specific individual thing - example like, a specific skill, musical ability, or just looks, etc. 

Nobody would mind getting positively discriminated..  either as a group member or as an individual.  nobody would like to be discriminated as group or individual... (that's what i tried to write on top para).  but, if we dont like it ourselves, why is there so much discrimination (both positive and negative) in this world?  what can be done about it?

the funny thing in India is, - ask a person, who belongs to some mid level caste, or is a middle class level citizen in the caste hierarchy... "do you think caste hierarchy should be practiced in 2014".. mostly they will say, "NO"...  then ask them, what about discriminating people on the basis of gender? "dont you think women should have all the freedom as men?".. 

its a tricky question, and i suspect, some men, maybe 1 or 2 from India might squirm a bit, and even oppose... with some reasons/logic...

and most funny thing is - almost everyone would be able to recall, some kind of human rights violation, which happened against them..  but, how many do anything to establish / maintain human rights in their community?  how many times have you stood up for something?

here is something else to check out...  how many people would be affected by lack of full human rights int his world: http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
