I would say gender and race for me, not so much wealth. Its terrible how so many things in life are dictated on these things; chance of getting a job, higher education and just general attitudes and perceptions.

I think gender is still in issue and there is a small group that discriminates on race.

Religion discrimination and race discrimination are somehow linked as most race practises the same religion (in my country) .. If u hate the religion u most probably hate the race as well cos they are the believers. In my country race discrimination might be the highest as they are still quota for certain race in order to get a place in hot subjects in Uni such as medic course, as most of the place are reserved for the "aboriginal" (that's what they call themselves) .. It's hard to get a high ranking post in the government too for other races ..

In India, apart from discrimination on the bases of gender, race and wealth, we also face caste discrimination which is widely prevalent in all the strata of the society.Its just that during the Vedic age, the scholars and the Vedas divided the society into different castes.They did so to organise the society.
But gradually people from the higher castes began to discriminate against the people who belonged to supposedly lower castes.Inspite of all laws and constutional amendments even today, some communities from the lower castes are treated as untouchables and denied even the basic rights like education, access to pure drinking water etc.

well in bangladesh discrimination is mostly with wealth.as we a developin country some people r so rich havin all the luxuries while others are in miseries we're experiencing that as well. More people are getting under the poverty line set for our society so that's something we should look at. Right now it's going like this: The rich people get richer and the poor and not so wealthy people get more poor. Atleast in my society I hope we can change that..

Well, in India discrimination mainly prevails on the grounds of gender, wealth and religion. Every year we witness some or the other hindu-muslim riots! Also, the poor people have absolutely no means to get out of their troubles. Child marriage still exists for girls. So, yes a lot of problems and discrimination still exists in the 21st century!

Here the biggest discrimination is probably race because there are people from sooo many places here. at times its prejudice, or sometimes just randomness. like in schools, there's gangs and all. "brown pride" "leb pride" etc etc and this just instigates more race-based discrimination in kids when they should actually be learning to coexist because people are different from you (i.e. racially) you can't do anything about it. But that doesn't mean you should walk around beating people up, right?

In my country it's wealth and race. Due to the colonial mentality of most people here in the Philippines, they think that everything that comes from other countries, especially America, is the best.
Sometimes, some fancy restaurants accept foreigners only when, in fact, we can pay as much. In the airports, if you don't look like mestiza (half-breed: Fil-Spanish, Fil-Chinese, or Fil-American), you'll be suspected as someone who'll hijack the plane or cause terroristic actions. Your bag will be inspected three times more than the mestizos or foreigners. Ignorant people think that if you're a mestiza, you have money, and it is so sad to say that a lot of ignorant people are wandering around the airports in the Philippines.
The craziest thing about my country is that we are discriminated in our own land.
I condemn any forms of discrimination.
