Original

There are many discriminations in the world. I know that many companies don’t want to hire females who has married but not has a baby yet. Some positions, like receptionists and nurses, don’t be filled by males. Some people will discriminate other racial people, like Negro or yellow race. When I traveled to Pairs, I saw that many jobs which are not decently, were worked by Negro，whites don’t want to do jobs like these. I think that’s also a discrimination.
