Never assume that the forms of oppression are the same. Discrimination based on race or color is different from discrimination based on age. There may be similar feelings but the effects are very different. You can't escape your color. As different cultures interact with each other, some experiences won't go so well. This is because some people may not be used to the way other cultures act and communicate. The important thing to remember is that as individuals we need to do everything we can to make every interaction we have with new and/or different people positive. When considering our world from such an incredibly compressed perspective, the need for awareness and understanding becomes evident.
