The Purple Disco was nothing but discreet. The discrimination that occurred nightly at the entrance to the disco did not focus on race or sex—it focused on beauty, disposition, and disdain. In other words, if you were ugly, dismal looking, of a pleasant disposition, or just wearing normal clothing, you were discriminated against and not allowed to enter. If you put up a fight, big, mean, strong men were dispatched to displace you from your place in line, no matter how much you cried out in dismay.

Last week I decided to dispense with my disillusions of entering as a normal person and cease being a disgrace that had never entered the Purple Disco. I disclosed my plan to my girlfriend and, even though we were a little in discord about how to do it, we knew that we had to find an appropriate time to disperse from our normal set of friends. Any attempt to work with them would result in a never-ending discourse. We had to do this as discrete units.

As I dispensed expensive clothing to my girlfriend and dismantled the normality of my own outfit I was determined that this attempt would not end in disgrace. There would be no discrepancies.

When the evening finally came our friends looked at us strangely that we were wearing such different clothing and acting so unfriendly. As we approached the door, the man immediately refused our friends who we were not standing too close to. As he saw us, however, dressed in wild clothing and acting like we didn't care what happened, he waved us in. At last, victory! We were in the Purple Disco!

紫色迪厅只是有些谨慎。每晚在迪厅门口发生的歧视现象主要并不是看种族或性别——它主要看美丽、性格和鄙视。换句话说，如果你很丑、看上去很差劲、性格温和或者只是穿着普通的衣服，你就会受到歧视而被拒之门外。如果你奋起反抗，一些又高、又大、又凶的人就会被派来使你离开你排的队，不管你大喊大叫着有多么失望。上个星期我决定摒弃我的不抱幻想，我要作为一个正常人进入迪厅，从而一洗从来没有到过紫色迪厅的耻辱。我向女朋友透露了我的计划，尽管我们就如何行动意见有些冲突，但我们知道我们得找一个合适的时间从我们那群正常的朋友中分散出来。只要和他们搅在一起就会导致无休止的交谈。我们得作为与他们不相关的人展开行动。在我把贵重的衣服分发给我的女朋友并卸下我自己的正式装束的时候，我就下定决心不能让这次计划最终让人丢脸，决不能有不一致的地方。当夜晚终于来临的时候，我们的朋友都奇怪地看着我们，因为我们穿着完全不同的衣服，行为是如此地不友好。走近门口时，守门人立即拦住了我们的朋友，我们与这些朋友保持着一定的距离。但是，当他看到我们奇装异服，对发生的事情似乎毫不在乎时，便招手让我们进去了。我们终于胜利啦!我们进了紫色迪厅!
