  > Most people in discriminated classes in the real world don't go out trying to change society. What is your evidence for this claim? I'm not as certain as you that a majority of people in discriminated classes don't try to change their society for the better. Maybe it depends on exactly what you mean by "change society", but at least for me, I see even small discussions like the one we're having here as potentially changing society.
