RE: Freedom Challenge #4: How My Life Will Be Different If I Lived in a Free World
Hi @gandhibaba, thank you for joining the #FreedomChallenge!
It is a beautiful dream to imagine a world of equality, without pervasive stereotypes.
However, if the world was a free place and I had the freedom to live as I wished, I would love to be judged based on the contents of my character not by the colour of my skin nor my social class.
Your character is shining through in this post and I appreciate your respect for your fellow humans!
If you don't mind me asking, I am curious how did you find out you were denied based on your ethnicity?
Good for you to persevere and create the life you deserve despite of the hurdles and walls you have to go through placed by the world we live in today.
Thanks for organizing this challenge. I really love to discuss and associate myself with issues bothering on freedom and human rights. In fact, I run a periodic contest tagged "Steemit, Together Against Injustice."
As for your question:
I got to know because one of the professors in the department told me that I couldn't get the admission because the quota allocated to my ethnic group was exhausted. I scored 69/100 and was denied yet those from other ethnic group who scored 51/100 were admitted.
Why should there be a quota system for admission? Why should the first become the last and the last the first? Freedom is the only way to crush the walls of discrimination.
I hope your curiousness is quenched now? Regards.
Yes it was quenched. Thanks for elaborating. I thought it was dishonesty, in fact it was honesty under a rule. That's even worse form of discrimination because it is "accepted" right in front of everyone and those in power don't question it. Thanks for doing that good work that you do with the Against Injustice contest.
It is my pleasure. You are being followed.
