More diversity should be portrayed in mass media to get the general population accustomed to the diversity in the world, even if they don't experience it in their own towns as much. This allows for such diversity to become a social norm among the population and therefore differences wouldn't be signaled out as much as they are today.

I believe that the discrimination a lot of us face today is significant in our society because it's sort of shaping the way for the next generation, whether that means that they'll follow the line of discrimination or break away from it.

- Discrimination, no matter when it occurs, affects millions of people. It can make the rich even more rich and the poor even more poor. It can disconnect certain groups of people from the rest of the world, even. These things not only affect society as a whole, but they affect that individual a lot, too. When facing discrimination, someone can start to feel negative emotions towards themselves and their school or work performance can worsen when it might not have if discrimination wasn't involved. All in all, it has a deep affect on the quality of life someone can experience.
