So intelligent thought and conversation with insight into society should be prejudiced against as well I take it? Shun reason and fact for quick results and immediate progress?
You have things like the civil rights movement that are a step forward, and groups like the KKK that are a step backwards, but also you have instances, laws, and movements that are neither but a sidestep that change one aspect for the better but another for the bad. DADT's repeal is making no progress or regression in the way people will be treated by their peers.
You don't think as someone half-Japanese I don't still see prejudice? I do. I see it every day from people everywhere I go. I've been called all types of racial slurs to my face by people who don't even fit the stereotype of where you would think a comment would come from.
Quote:Those who can't adapt to equality should suffer the consequences.And so people like that have to be prejudiced against as well? Where's the equality in that inequality? You just proved my point.
Quote:why can't people with different sexual options have the same rights? Those who can't live in a world with this ideal should have a hard time until they canBecause the perfect world is a dream and will never be achievable until even more drastic changes in society's roots are done. Wanting this level of perfection is a dream and even if it is a nice dream, it's only just a dream.
