While reading the article “Decoding the New Language of Racial Hierarchy”, its criticism of the idea of genetic inferiority and racial hierarchy made me think how people make judgments on each other in day-to-day lives. There are unfair judgments on people based on not only their race, culture, or social status but also their appearance, their clothes, or even their height. People sometimes make judgments based on their first glance at their classmates, teachers, colleagues, or strangers. Each person holds different preconceptions while judging others. Also, it is hard for people to eliminate these preconceptions, because they usually result from parental education, school experiences, and the media.
