[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 75939287, member: 412388"] If you want to paint this purely as a political matter, then go for your life. Just treat it as left v right, Republican v Democrat, right v wrong. But you might be aware that I just pidgeon-holed everyone into two groups there. Us v Them effectively. You can choose your side as best you see fit. Which is what we all do. We associate ourselves within groups. Whether it is defined by your gender, your state, your country, your racial background, your football team, your politics. This is such a basic fact of life that it really shouldn't need me to point it out. You did it yourself above probably without realising it. For you, in this context, it's The False Narrative v The Truth. You are saying 'We're all the same. There are no divisions. Except that I'm always right and you're in the group that's always wrong'. Unless you accept that there are differences and we are automatically biased towards our 'own group' then you aren't going to recognise problems when they occur. You can just stand with others [I]in your group[/I] and say 'there's nothing to see here'. You want to take it personally. You want to say that [I]we[/I] aren't racist. [I]We[/I] aren't sexist. [I]We[/I] treat everyone with the respect that they deserve. So if someone suggests that there is racism and they suggest that it is exhibited by a group of which you are a member, then you take it personally. A heads up: It's not about you. [/QUOTE]
