Justified Racism

General public has always had a very abstract idea of “Racism.” It still has the same image as early 60s: calling an African-American with the “N” word, or generally abusing any ethnicity. But Racism has become such a bigger issue today, as the notion of Racism has become indecent. Therefore it is more veiled now.

What matters even more is that “Racism’ can be seen in many organizations, governments and systems, and yet nobody questions them, because it never seems like it. For instance the only reason which I have to pay 8,000$ tuition fee more than my Canadian classmate is because I am not Canadian. It is not because he has higher grades or anything else. It is just because of my nationality. One may reason that you haven’t paid tax all those years in Canada, but this is an absurd justification because it still does not solve the problem, it rather erases it.

The fact that a whole nation or followers of a specific religion should be humiliated just because of few terrorist is another example. A terrorist can be from any country ( for example in 9/11 while the Americans where busy interviewing and investigating Iranian applicants, a UAE citizen which are the most trusted in the middle east carried away the mission.)

All that being said, the only ironic reason now that I can not travel back to my country Iran is that I am actually Iranian. Because I am Iranian it has now taken more than a month to get the Canadian visa, something that usually takes less than a day for other nationalities, Even though I have been living in Canada for almost two years.


At the end this is me in Abu Dhabi trying to kill some time, waiting to hear that my application is delayed another two weeks!
