Discrimination? Na.
And yet, another reason to say that Latvia is located in Eastern Europe, and not really Central, as one reader suggested. Although the Berlin Wall may have entered the annals of history, people remained. The EU Business reported last week on results of a survey relating to privacy and discrimination issues.
A European Commission report suggests that most EU citizens are prepared to share sensitive personal information on their religion or ethnic origin in order to battle discrimination.
The interesting part is this:
A total of 85 percent of Swedish respondents, 83 percent of Dutch and 80 percent of French considered race discrimination to be rampant whereas only 33 percent of Poles, 29 percent of Latvians and 23 percent of Lithuanians agreed.
You can’t tell me that former Eastern Europeans and present Western Europeans have the same priorities and similar line of thought.
