Since watching this movie, I have some doubts that I am a racist.

This suspicion comes from the heroine's questioning of the police uncle.

That kind of prejudice can be brought about by a group. Of course, not everyone in that group has problems. It’s just that compared with other groups, that group’s problems may be relatively large. Just like Sino-Japanese relations, Like male and female drivers.

A rational person is aware of the powerful relationship here, but it may be that this group may have more problems than other groups, and then when they do not understand the actual situation of the individual, their judgment will inevitably be biased.

Perhaps this bias itself is called discrimination.

But I also think that this kind of prejudice is brought about by human nature. We discriminate not only by racial discrimination, but also by various types of prejudice, including rural and urban prejudice, male and female prejudice, and even the prejudice of the birth environment in the city of birth.

There are big and small biases. Small ones are like some map guns. The influence of urban differences on individuals is relatively small. We will ignore them as much as possible, and we can also ignore them.

However, some biases may have a greater impact on individuals. It is like walking on the street and encountering a drunk. According to our usual understanding, although he may not cause any bad phenomenon, the error rate of this group of drunks is higher. Gao, we may walk around, we can't get to know a drunk passing by in order to look at him, so we can only treat him as one of the group of drunks.

When manpower is scarce, we cannot try to understand everything and draw conclusions.

So there is prejudice, or discrimination.
