You should read history and look at ostracism persecution martyrdom and that kind of thing. They always happen to the best men you know.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.

Just as we reject racism sexism ageism and heterosexism we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race sex age or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.

The funniest racism is the racism between minorities. It's something you don't see dramatized but almost every minority I know who's my age they have these funny stories about their parents stereotyping other minorities.
