Odd that you would say that, as it logically subsumes the very meaningful "treating people/sneetches poorly because they have different melanin phenotype/stars on their bellies is bad".
I'm still waiting for the world where skin colour is about as important as hair (yes, this has vastly improved since my youth) or eye colour, eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW68oWV9uE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW68oWV9uE4
"girls are different / brunettes, blondes, redheads..."
(yes, it's heteronormative, but the video, and even some subtones of the text, suggest comfort with more diversity than was either popular at the time, or even, for some people, now)
- zo1 3y agoCurrently it means treat people as special because of their skin color and to me is pretty much actual racism. In an ideal world it would mean what you say it does (everyone is valued equally irrespective of melanin or other immutable characteristic), but as someone born with the wrong skin color it pretty much means I'm valued less by polite society. It's horrible and I won't stand for it. History will judge them.
- 082349872349872 3y ago> someone born with the wrong skin color it pretty much means I'm valued less that sounds bad; do you have any specific examples from the last year?
- j4yav 3y agoYou'd be surprised to find how many people have the same stance as you, it's nowhere near a <1-3% view indicating a psyop has occurred using this heuristic.
