Discrimination

Currently I am reading the book called "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist" by Roger Lowenstein. I've completed reading about 13% of the book and the book is really interesting up to this point. The book digs into the personal life of Warren Buffett. It is delightful to read the childhood activities of the Genius. There is a part in the book where at the young age, Buffett falls in for a girl, Susie. But Susie was dating some other guy at that time. In the evenings, Buffett would visit her house and spent time with her parents playing ukelele. The guy with whom Susie was dating was not invited to her house because her parents did not like the fact that the guy was a Jew. This is interesting. We think that the discrimination between people in the name of caste, religion, social status etc. exist only in the underdeveloped countries. But this part of the book shows that human beings are same all over the world. Normally, all the people have discriminatory mind.
