    What cheapens the issues of prejudice is actively participating in it, thus normalizing it.

    Justifying the resentment of an entire group based on the actions of some isn’t bringing them down a peg. It’s just just perpetuating negatively, at best.

      Nah, knockin us for going on about “Murica #1” isn’t on the same level as the actual prejudice against the Roma for example.

          You kinda did though. At least that’s the stance anyone reading your previous comment is going to infer.

            No, I said supporting prejudicial views normalizes it and thus exacerbates it. I didn’t say all prejudices were equal. But, continue to support it if you want. Maybe I will too, seems healthy.
