Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2869769, member: 8215"] Well yeah in that case B4L's stance is justified - as the majority of us are white, we simply don't have an equivalent. Does [USER=2065]@lynx000[/USER] have reason to be offended with his example? Well, yeah, he does, especially if the comments were being made by someone who grew up with the privilege of being the "better" ancestry. But even then we are talking a more remote history. Not only are there still people alive today who have experienced first hand the prejudice that we're discussing here, [I]it is actually still occurring[/I]. That there is the exact reason for my beliefs. One of the most confronting things I've seen on this issue was when Bert Newton completely innocently refers to Mohammad Ali as "boy". If you want to see the gravity that such a seemingly innocent comment can have on someone who is otherwise so mentally assured, there's your example. [MEDIA=youtube]9CaESHKJni0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
