Diversity Bingo Part 2

Discussion in groups of 4

All the words used to describe people in Part 1 represent groups of people who are discriminated or used ie treated negatively by other people.

So many of your friends or people who you have contact with regularly will have been bullied, picked on, belittled by others. But you don’t see them negatively because you know them as your brother, sister, aunt, grandfather, friend, boss, neighbour, etc.

So, where does discrimination come from?
