Like racism?
- CaptSpify 9y agoSure. I would guess that racism is indeed probably more common than most people realize. But don't get me wrong: Just because something is common, doesn't mean we should move to just accepting it. I think it would actually highlight how subtly and unconsciously racist many people are, which would help us solve that problem. I was thinking of things more like: functional drug users, sexual-practices, etc.

- zo1 9y agoNo, we only want to include the discrimination that we don't like. Attractive, tall and rich people are not a protected class of citizens!
