What's HINKAKU【シリーズ10-line】:カラフルオーブ.jpg

Today, first of all, I'd like to ask anew whether it's true that it's only in our country where judgment of character by blood type is believed in :
To explain simply, they say someone with type A blood is well-organized, type B blood is rough and self-centered, type O blood is bold and adventurous, type AB blood is moody and dual .
The problem is such prejudice causes a problem called blood-type harassment;
People with certain blood type are bullied and treated unfavorably, even at life-changing scenes such as finding jobs and personnel affairs.
Especially, I see that type B and AB blood are seen negatively.
Incidentally, my blood type is B.
Why I place such a thing suddenly today?

Without thoughts, I answered yes, and she said that she had thought so.
Of course, it's not the first time I was disgusted at people who enjoy talking about superiority or inferiority of blood type,
However, this time:
While there is already a statistical analysis denying scientific relationship between blood type and personality,
I was disgusted that there are STILL people who believe and bring up association between character and blood type
.
Incidentally, her blood type is O.
I suppose that it's only people with blood type said to be superior who still enjoy talking about blood type -outside of medical front, and running down people with blood type said to be inferior.
According to the article denying scientific correlation between blood type and personality, this prejudice was created by media and has been afloat from 1970s .
There are various books about it, and I recalled seeing TV programs inspecting it plausibly.

This time, our argument gave me a glimpse of...:
Blindly swallowing groundless things someone made up at own discretion, people grouped as superior confirm and try to keep their superiority by looking down on people grouped as inferior
-That could be how gratuitous discrimination is caused
.
As for gender discrimination, one of the causes would be that women cannot work like men while they have babies and raise children, and it's disadvantageous at work.

Needless to say , it NEVER makes excuse that men are allowed to control and make a plaything of women as they please.
But since the limits of social system in 20th century is revealed , from now on, we have to change society system that exploit and discard people, so that people can live human lives .
Correcting gender discrimination is one of the means -but this is another story today
On the other hand...
One of the typical gratuitous discrimination could be birthplace discrimination.
In our country, we are taught that during the age of samurai rule, in order to distract discontent of lowly people, administrator created shrewd class-system mainly based on occupation and ancestry, so that they could rule people easily.
I saw posters against background check that can lead to discrimination in job hunting and marriage, which shows the problem is still deep.
-How about in other countries?
International affairs aside...
development of laws against such discrimination is necessary and useful, in order to promote correction, and prevent conflicts and hate-crime,
But after all, it would be a moral and education matter in the end.
This is also true for speech and action insulting people from different cultures and countries.
Therefore... situation in other areas aside, for example;
If the reports are true that how identity of neighboring peninsular country based on hate against our country, it's blatant and it's a pity in some way that they don't realize such way of lives make themselves miserable.
But it doesn't mean that our country side is allowed to act the same way.
There have been an argument whether freedom of expression and insulation against different countries and cultures contradict,
But freedom of expression should be on the assumption of respect to others and moral, isn't it?
IF both sides don't mind being seen by world that both are all at the same disgracefulness, you may keep on putting each other down forever.
-Oops! Excuse me for too much expansion.
In short... back to today's story:

If there are people who still enjoy talking about judgment of characters by blood type and running down others,
May I see them as negative examples warning me not to have gratuitous prejudice?

Last week, when I went to a bicycle shop to borrow an inflator, the storekeeper saw me locking my bicycle and asked me whether my blood type is A,
But such association is never taken as compliment anymore.

:Ready to place summery if asked
