Liking and Disliking: Have Your Say

[Michael37]

Getting to know people involves learning about their likes and dislikes.

I dislike Parmesan cheese. I've banned it from our house, and I scrutinise menus for it when eating out.

Your turn.

Bing Search: Studies of the difference between dislike of an ethnicity and discrimination against them

Bing Result: Sure, I can help you with that.

Disliking an ethnicity and discriminating against them are two different things. Disliking an ethnicity is a personal feeling of aversion or disapproval towards a particular ethnic group. Discrimination, on the other hand, is the act of treating someone unfairly or differently based on their ethnicity.

There are many studies that have been conducted on this topic. One such study is “Race, ethnicity, and discrimination at work: a new analysis of legal protections and gaps in all 193 UN countries” ¹. This study examines legal protections against employment discrimination based on race and ethnicity in all 193 UN countries. It highlights progress and gaps that must be addressed.

Another study that you might find interesting is “Prejudice vs. Discrimination In Psychology” ². This study explains that prejudice encompasses the cognitive and emotional biases one holds internally towards a group, while discrimination manifests these biases through actions or behaviors, negatively affecting members of the targeted group.

I hope this helps! [BingChat]

It smells like vomit, and tastes worse!

Hey!     hmpf.. 

durian is delicious..  just can have a strong smell that's all....  

(I am guessing sometimes perhaps might be an acquired smell maybe?  kinda like an acquired taste but for smells? I dunno )

Hmmm, I do not have very discriminating taste buds I guess, I'll eat most anything that doesn't eat me first.

As to discriminating between ethnic groups, sure I do, but not in the sense of having prejudice against  any hopefully. The differences between ethnic groups by race, creed, and color are very real. They can be appreciated too!

That you and I may be, and quite likely are, different can make life of each of us fuller for the very difference between us. If we were all alike  we would be like vanilla, functional for the purpose  but not very interesting because of a lack of contrast.

One of my own favorite ethnic groups are American Samoans. And boy are they different from what I see in the mirror of me.  I also have found  Jews  with reformed Jewish leaning  a lot of fun to be around.

Are there groups that  are harder for me personally?  Yes there are, but then that is my flaw for me to be working out. I am still a work in progress.

I dislike raw onion and pickled olives.  Both give me unbelievable heart burn.

I like cats. My cat's mother dislikes me. I think she hasn't forgiven me for putting her in a carrier, taking her to the vet, and giving her medication, all things she dislikes.

I dislike hot weather and sunlight, yet live in Texas. Sometimes I think the sun dislikes me in return. Somehow despite being a housebound shut in (which I enjoy more often than not) I got sunburned while indoors this summer.
