Right, so like using the police to criminalize a minority population.
Or the real estate industry colluding to keep out a minority from living in a certain area.
Or asking someone not to wear a demeaning shirt.
All totally the same thing.
- oxide 11y agowhat you are condoning is not politely asking, as if that ever got anything accomplished in this world. polite requests can be politely ignored. you are condoning bullying. bullying is threatening and demeaning in a way a shirt can only hope to one day accomplish, for the record.
- kaonashi 11y agoThreatened with what? Severe disappointment?
- stcredzero 11y agoBeing excluded from a group is a pretty severe penalty, emotionally. Our instincts associate group membership with survival. Membership in groups can have significant impacts on the quality and status of contacts. If wearing a t-shirt once can make others feel uncomfortable and not included, and this situation is wrong, then it is also wrong to permanently or too severely sanction the t-shirt wearer. Such a situation should be discussed calmly and resolved.
