when freedom makes people less equal
It's something I saw on the street just a few days ago. A woman, coming from the grocery market passing calmly by the many strangers on the street. At some point she noticed a family coming her way. A young man, a young woman (probably his wife) and two kids, one on foot and the other in his mum's arms. The woman immediately pulled her purse closer to her body and gave the group a suspicious, aggressive look. They were a little bit darker than her and knew exactly that this was why the woman reacted like that. They passed her by - the lady seemed relieved - but at some point the young man changed his mind. He stopped and asked her: "do you really have to react like that just because we're gypsies? " The lady blushed. Do we discriminate without knowing, without even questioning our opinions? But of course! Even Mr. President does it. On TV!!!
