For some reason, this pissed me off a lot more than I expected it to. I think it's the positioning of blame on disadvantaged groups. It doesn't seem very helpful. It's less than ideal to see the comments come from someone with the same heritage as me but I'm mindful of seeming too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman Tony will have his reasons.
For me, this reaffirms my belief that people will always do and believe what's easiest for them. For example, I will eat meat until someone asks me to start slaughtering my own food.
As a father I cannot trust in this country to be better when my daughter is older but I can do my best to equip her with the tools to navigate the playing field as it stands today. I hope that she'll feel empowered to trust her instincts about others' motivations and to not feel obliged to persistently engage.
