A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
种族歧视
Racism
I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere.
我总觉得脚下的地毯随时都有可能被掀开。来自一个种族混合的背景，我总是觉得自己不适合任何地方。
In the colonies the economic substructure is also a superstructure. The cause is the consequence; you are rich because you are white, you are white because you are rich.

Any discrimination, like sharp turns in a road, becomes critical because of the tremendous speed at which we are traveling into the high-tech world of a service economy.

There's an enormous difference between voting for a candidate because you hate another ethnic group and voting for a candidate because he's a member of your ethnic group.

Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear.

So as a prelude whites must be made to realise that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realise that they are also human, not inferior.

So now I feel I'm lucky in the respect that I can sort of pick a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren't that many roles to pick from.

The different ness of races, moreover, is no evidence of superiority or of inferiority. This merely indicates that each race has certain gifts which the others do not possess.
此外，种族的不同并不能证明种族优越或种族低劣。这仅仅表明每个种族都有某些其他种族所没有的天赋。

From whichever angle one looks at it, the application of racial theories remains a striking proof of the lowered demands of public opinion upon the purity of critical judgment.
无论从哪个角度看，种族理论的应用仍然是公众舆论对批判性判断的纯洁性要求降低的显著证据。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
As a matter of fact they'd blacken us down. I guess there's a reason that according to what the Caucasian wanted us to look like. He wanted us to look-if we were Black, then he had his idea of what we look like.
事实上，他们会抹黑我们。我想这是有原因的根据白人想让我们看起来像什么。他想让我们看看——如果我们是黑人，那么他就知道我们长什么样。

It's not even about black and white anymore, because so many people are from mixed backgrounds and mixed ethnicities, and it's just a great time to be able to pull all that together.
