动物都有保护自己地盘的本能，不单是有外族的入侵时就会产生战争，就算是同类，不同群之间都要去保护自己的地盘。
人也同样，我们对于本土人来说是外族，就如同当年欧洲人到了这里，土著人觉得他们是外族人一样，都有矛盾，土著人没有保护住自己的地盘，被欧洲人所占领了，虽说他们现在还有所谓的属于自己的土地，但已经早不像从前了。
现在的歧视已经演变成一种很moderate的方式了，不再是战争，不再是杀戮。
只是几十年前，关于心理学家，社会学家在关于歧视的问题上，做了很多的问卷，调查人的歧视问题，通过这几十年，这种问卷已经被改了又改，只是因为人们认识到歧视是不被公众所接受的，回答的时候都不是真正的内心所想的了，所以问题变的越来越含蓄。
现在有HARVARD大学做了一种implicit association test 用来测试我们内心到底是没有歧视的存在。不过这些问题还没有FOCUS在中国人与白人之间的，
有关于Gender - Science;Weight ('Fat - Thin' IAT). Sexuality ('Gay - Straight' IAT). Age ('Young - Old' IAT);Race ('Black - White' IAT);Countries。有兴趣的话可以去试试。

但就因为我学了，我看到事情的阴暗面了，所以才想说一下，也许对有些人会有帮助

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛My point is too negative, which might cause parents to reject me at the first place. What I want to say is that the world is not a perfect place. We face too many issues and problems everyday. Our children may have even stronger feelings than us about both sides of the world. They enjoy their everyday life and at the same time they suffer from the surrounding environment.

As adults, we are influenced by our automatic thinking (schemas---stereotypes). We couldn't immunize it. We group people as in-group and out-group. We exaggerate the similarities among members of an out-group. Even children, they do the same. As Chinese children, they are members of an out-group considered by White. So the positive side is that Chinese children are good at Math. The negative side is that once a member of Asian has made some kind of trouble, it generalizes to all the members in that group.

The cause of the person's behaviour was something about that person, not the situation, which is the way people explain others' behaviour. We attribute others failure to their own personality problems, not because the situation. And then we generalize it to their groups, if they are not in-group member.

That's the way people think sometimes. We need be clear about it. All I want to say is: We should pay close attention to our children's physical and mental health.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
