Racism and other discrimination hurts everyone. Reading this story about a brilliant mind disempowered and wasted should sadden each and every one of us. I couldn't help reading this article and feeling so devastated. Just think of what all he and others underutilized could have accomplished for the world had they been given the chance to flourish fully. And just think of what talents, knowledge, cures, technology, or philosophical temperances are wasted today by the various types of discrimination that exist in society. Such a waste.
