[The_Rorschach]

All I am trying to say is that race, like any other classification should not be used as a basis for preferential treatment.

It should also not be used as a basis for any negative treatment.

Which I think is what you both were arguing, and myself as well after my own fashion. I would also like to see a day when people regard one another as equals regardless of incorporated variables such as race, religion, economic standing or education - And though that day is far off in coming, we can only get there if we get rid ourselves of such crutches as racial favouritism.

FatSatan: Are you a victim of heterosexuality? How about you're not a victim nor making a conscious choice, but it's just what you are?

I am of Irish descent. I cannot change it through denial or restraint, however, I can control my heterosexuality. I can be abstinate, or homosexual, or prey on small animals too slow to escape me. If something can be avoided, and it is not, it is chosen. That is why I see it as I do.
