Speaking of extreme positions, where was it said that these two unrelated situations were equivalent? And even given that they're not, so what? Should people in the civil rights movements have just shrugged their shoulders and said "You know, the Jews had it a lot worse"?

And my point remains that you're wrong. Just because a certain type of discrimination doesn't affect you or me doesn't make it a non-issue.
As far as being an Amazon basher, you've brought that up several times, aside from the fact that I'm a big Amazon defender, it's really irrelevant to this discussion.
