“Oh Great Spirit keeps me from ever judging a man until I have walked in his moccasins”. This means that I should try not to judge other people unless I have been experiencing their position. Or I am the same as them. I should not judge poor people because I do not know what it is like to be poor. I should not judge Christians because I am not one of them. I should not judge women because I am a man. I should not judge black people because I am white.
This is very easy to say. I cannot do it. I judge all the time and I think everyone does too. All people have ideas about others. This is a kind of discrimination because usually these ideas that they have are wrong. Many people think all Arabs are terrorists. Whites think that black people are criminals. We should know that this is not true. There are Arabs who are terrorists but there are Christians and Jews who are also terrorists. There are black people who are criminals but this is also true for whites , reds and yellows. There are jails everywhere in the world that is full of all kinds of people.
For me, I come from a culture that is very strict. We must marry Saudis, not even other Arabs. I know this is discrimination to some people but it is our traditional way. Is it wrong? I don’t know. Is it right? I also don’t know. It is just our way. We do not want to hurt other people but this the way it works.
I think this is really true for most people. A Christian family wants their children to marry Christians. Jews want to marry Jews. Blacks want to marry blacks. Is this discrimination? Some people would say so but I am not sure.
