(45,251 posts)Sure, we are all mistreated for reasons having nothing to do with the way we were born. For the sake of discussion, let's call that ordinary mistreatment. Of course, I realize everyone experiences ordinary mistreatment. It's not an esoteric point. As everyone seems to love to tell us life is unfair.
But on top of those ordinary mistreatments, members of certain groups get an extra portion of mistreatment simply because of the group into which they were born. White males, especially WASP's, never had that extra portion simply because of how they were born.
I am not sure why you seem to be trying to educate me about people of color and members of the GLBT community being mistreated because I mentioned both those groups in very beginning of the post to which you are supposed to be responding.
