Discrimination is a Virtue

"Discrimination is a Virtue" is an article which discusses how so many people do not understand the true definition of the word discrimination. This essay by Robert Miller explains how an "entire generation has grown up believing that "discrimination" means "racism"". He further details the idea that our culture has become obsessed with the idea of equality for all people. In almost every aspect of our society, including education and politics, we try not to draw any lines between students as well as candidates.
When it comes to the Democratic presidential nomination race, little is said about the candidates' policies in the media. Their focus tends to be on skin color or gender instead of the actual issues. For example, how many people know that Barack Obama is actually opposed to gay marriage, although he does support civil unions? In general, many people seem to think that because women or black people have been "discriminated" against in the past, no real discrimination is needed in where they should place their vote. Assuming anything about a candidate based on race or gender is not fair to the candidates. We need to understand that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are two very different people with different policies. Don't get on the bandwagon with so many others and vote for one or the other based on some clouded bias.
