//要得到尊重是要有不同的條件的:有的是因著有高的學識,有的是因為有好的銜頭,有的是因為有好的家底,有的是因為有好的後台,亦有的是因為有好的品德,有的因為有好的口才,有的因為有才能……//

That kind of 'respect' is not the same kind of respect we are talking about.

Let see...

There are racists in the world that don't like Asians. If you are Asians, they will discriminate against you, disrespect you, and try to make things difficult for you, or even physically harm you.

Are you sure that it is something you could just 'take it so lightly?

Even if you are, I'm not.

Racism is a form of evil in this world. And before it could be eliminated from the mind, it has to be 'stopped' by the law.

That is why there are anti-racial-discrimination laws to protect those who are being discriminated against.

Would I respect a racist? I would say no way. I don't think racists deserve any respect, even if he is talented, or intelligent, or successful.

The same go with gender.

Sexism is the 'ill' of the world. And it should be eliminated from the minds.

But before that could happen, there are laws that govern any discriminate based on gender in society.

You don't have to be smart to be 'respect' as a fellow human being.

And you don't have to be a man to be not discriminated against by sexists.

That is the point.

//我想做一個問心無愧的人,多於一個人人都尊重我的人,只要我能得到我應有的尊重就夠了。我也不奢求人人都尊重我。//

That is you. Maybe even if you are going to be teased becaue you are an Asian and you wouldn't mind about it.

But it still wouldn't make racism right.

The same go with sexism. Sexism is wrong. And if you are a sexist, you don't deserve any respect. (And I hope that you are not.)
