In HN and other forums, I notice a strong correlation between the amount of prejudice in a post, and the amount of anger and ignorance in it. There is no reason to tie these issues together. There are many problems in our country; to say one shouldn't be fixed because others persist is silly (and what you describe isn't a problem, but a benefit to our country). It's also very sad that someone would casually and ignorantly insult a religion with over one billion innocent people as members, including many Americans. It's not Muslims or Southern white conservatives that are the problem, it's the bigoted and hateful minorities in all groups -- think what a wonderful world it would be without their anger, discrimination and violence. > we have had way more deaths related to crazies in that religion than with the Confederate flag.
