Is it okay for me to be racist? I'm bi and female so I think it might be okay, right?

I mean, it's obviously okay to be homophobic and/or transphobic if you're black, isn't it?

And I think you're allowed to be bigoted against the mentally ill if you have some physical disability, right?

Also, if you're Jewish, you get a "get out of xenophobia free" card and can trash migrants all you want, yes?

I think if you're a poor young single parent you get a few free spins on the ageism wheel, too, don't you?

All that is totally okay, right?

That's how it works?

ingenuously,
Bright

P.S. because it's obviously necessary

I am very disturbed when one group who has to KNOW what oppression feels like feels nothing about subjecting others to it - disgusting
