The numerous times we spent discussing on issues relating to discrimination, prejudice and stereotyping had finally come knocking on my door. Today, i had my fair share of being discriminated against.

That feeling was terrible. I was deeply hurt, upset and disappointed. It felt as if i was some worthless trash, of no value at all. Unless you are discriminated against, you will never understand how it feels like to be victimised.

Right after EPM presentation, my tutor's first question to the audience was "So what criticisms do you have for them?" He went on to say " You all are not from MCM [Mass Comm] right?" (nodded our heads) "From ACC [Accountancy]?" (nodded again). Next reply was "No wonder. MCM students can present without handcards, make impromptu speeches. And you all have to rely on the handcards. Not that i am criticising all of you, you all did a fairly good job in your findings, surveys... I can tell you all did your homework. But yr 3 already, and you all still present till like that. What happened to your Oral Comm?"

Mouths shut, fuming mad inside all of us, we tolerated. Proceeded back to our seats and suffered another bombardment from him.

Next group came on to present. "GOOD! GOOD! That's what i want. Are you all from MCM?" Reponse was negative. "ACC ar?" Again negative. This got me darn pissed. His next response was "No wonder."

So there we have it. ACC is discriminated against. MCM is the cream of the crop, at least to him. Excuse me, different people have different abilities. You can't expect everyone to be as vocal as the Mass Comm students. That's their specialisation. If they ain't vocal, don't even think of getting a job in the media industry. Accountancy students are more or less quiet in nature. Most of us are better in writing compared to speaking. How can you demand the same from everyone?

It's such an irony. He teaches effective people's management and one of the topics was managing employee diversity. Having been through countless presentations, didn't he at least learn something from it? The society is diversed. We humans have different aptitudes. Understand us and accept us for what we are. Don't ever compare. It doesn't do us any good.

Is he even fit to be a tutor? Bias shouldn't be present in a learning environment. It's obvious he favours MCM students compared to ACC students. He classifies us as the lowest grade. He has lost the respect i have for all tutors.

Well, carry on this way and in no time, you will jeopardize your career. Thank your favouritism for it. You asked for and deserved it.

*Darn pissed and upset" Ruined my mood. I've lost all motivation to do well for this module. Probably my first C in my record. F**k.
