� <br />�eople" and he was completely qualified for the jobs he ap�lied for. With that being said, he nEVer got an <br />intervie�v; no chance at a job among the "carpet people." Some peaple might think of this like, "Maybe <br />they found someone more qualified," but as a rr►inority, this is quite obvious that it ��as an act of <br />discriminatior�, but as I said earlier, people interpret discrimination differently. Another run-in with <br />discrimination was when i���as in third grade. My teacher had us do presentations and 1 was supposed to <br />go on Thursday but instead of having me ga on Thursday, as pianned, she had me go on Friday. With all <br />t�e other Asian kids. lt ��asn'i a big deal to rne at the time because I���as only in third grad and I didn't <br />e.ven notice, but now that I look back on it. it was very disrespectful and kind of odd. Both of those are <br />personal human rights violaEions. Discsimination isn't only passed on ethnicity, but on many different <br />individua] characteristics; in.cluding gender, socio-economic status, sexua] orientation and many more. <br />}]ate crimes are very common act of discrimination. A stat.istic shows that 7,163 repo�ted hate crimes <br />�vere co€nmitted against homosexual people in Arrierica, but on�y 10% of hate crimes are actual[y <br />repoRed.

There is no way to <br />determine the validity of someone's beEiefs. That's why you believe in them and they are your beliefs. <br />Aeop[e shouldn't be treated worse of better because of their beiiefs or reJigion. Though, normally }�eople <br />just assume that people are Chris€ian because we live in a saciety that is 78.4% Christian and [ b% of tk�e <br />re�naining 2].6% is not even affil'€ated with a religion. Mosi Christians are Protestant, but I'm not <br />considered a Christian in statistics. I am put into the "Other Religions" category. [�m a Unitarian, 0.14% <br />of Art�ericans are, so obviously, 1 am a minority. L�nitarianism is not recognized in polls or surveys; it is <br />under the categocy of "other." That makes me, persona] ly feel unrepresented, and 1 feel thai EJnitarians are <br />going unnoticed in society. [ don't expect everyone to knaw every re[igion in the �=hole world but it <br />
