Oh boy...here comes another round of "what can we do to make up for the discrimination you felt."

Discrimination is such a powerful, yet vague word. I'm not sure what it means any more. Does it only mean someone broke a law in the treatment of another? Does it mean someone was denied a courtesy? Does it mean someone felt picked on? Does it mean someone didn't get a proper hearing? Does it mean someone didn't get what they felt they were entitled to? Or does discrimination have to involve violence or the threat of violence? Is the description of the discrimination objective or does it only matter if a person feels discriminated against?

In the real world, outside of civil rights arena, thoughts of discrimination abound. White men, overweight people, older people, those who don't wear the right clothes, didn't go to the right schools or are undereducated, live in the best neighborhoods, aren't pretty enough, blah blah all have felt discriminated against at one time or another. It doesn't hurt less than the officially recognized discriminations.
Agreed...but not to forget my dog with her crooked tail..
