> Hmmm...OK, then I'll add a kink in Dr. Bob's childhood. Dr. Bob probably experienced some bullying. Some kids might have bullied him because he is a little geeky and different. Maybe Dr. Bob even experienced discrimination from being an ethnic minority.This is one of my usual rants, but here I go anyway.
I reckon absolutely everyone who is identifiably fron an ethnic minority experiences some discrimination at some point.
And I reckon it's a really difficult thing to talk about, because most people don't want to imagine themselves as oppressors (or oppressed). But I think it sometimes has to be talked about, because if it remains a hidden topic, how is anything going to change?
