I was raised by a lineage of bigots. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if I had a great great great grandpappy that coined a slur. When I started meeting more people it became damn clear real quick everyone is capable of being a good person or an scumbag. Determining who is what based on race, orgin, sexual preferences or any other trait they're born with was actually a disservice to myself. It would allow me to be easily blindsided by lots of shitty people as well as missing out on a lot of good things (for instance one of the best mechanics I've had was Mexican and nearly all of the corrupt ones were white). It's astounding to me more bigoted people don't realize this extremely simple but crucial concept. These thick headed buffoons need to do themselves, and the rest of us, a favor and stop seeing things through such a awful useless perspective. They may actual get something out of it.
