Now you might not agree with the below meaning of discrimination or the categories they list. We are reporting on who the MPA tells us were the winners. We could just not post the photos of the people we know most people agree do not belong in few questionable categories but it is not our race, This might well be an act of discrimination. We might end up only reporting on the events with photos that 80% of the public agree. Or there might be many other ways to report safely with the public which is likely not to start a riot. We will try to cover all the events in the way the MPA feels is fair but they will have to be willing to work with us.
What is discrimination?
Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. That’s the simple answer. But explaining why it happens is more complicated.
The human brain naturally puts things in categories to make sense of the world. Very young children quickly learn the difference between boys and girls, (interesting example the use here, as is that not the question? Boys can be girls?) for instance. But the values we place on different categories are learned—from our parents, our peers, and the observations we make about how the world works. Often, discrimination stems from fear and misunderstanding.
Stress and health
Discrimination is a public health issue. Research has found that the experience of discrimination—when perceived as such—can lead to a cascade of stress-related emotional, physical, and behavioral changes. Stress evokes negative emotional responses, such as distress, sadness, and anger, and can often lead to an increase in behaviors that harm health, such as alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use, and a decrease in healthy activities, such as sleep and physical activity.
Discrimination can be damaging even if you haven’t been the target of overt acts of bias. Regardless of your personal experiences, it can be stressful just being a member of a group that is often discriminated against, such as racial minorities or individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.
The anticipation of discrimination creates its own chronic stress. People might even avoid situations where they expect they could be treated poorly, possibly missing out on educational and job opportunities.
