I am neither a Christian nor a white man, and I think that everyone should be ridiculed equally.  |
I totally agree with that last statement! I'd give you Karma, but apparently I have to wait. I guess I've been generous this past 24 hours!
As to the first, it is interesting that what's considered the "dominant" race/culture/religion/whatever is almost like a invite to be ridiculed. Is that the natural evening out of power? Or an attempt at that?
I could be wrong, without numbers to support my assertions, but it seems to me that the white man still has the upper hand in terms of power in the US, and therefore he's prime candidate for public ridicule, whereas the minorities are protected from this public ridicule, but generally seem to be the recipient of more prejudice in daily life.
Yeah, I'm not making sense to myself anymore either.
