People are people too

The funny thing about both the extreme left and the extreme right is that they both seem to strive for egalitarianism.

The extreme right does so in a very recognizable manner. It condemns any non-white non-tanning-bed-induced skin color which deviates from the native complexion. I detest that kind of thing. Indeed, the first rally I ever took part in was one against racism.

The extreme left is, of course, not nearly as superficial. It only condemns sophisticated stuff, such as vocal inflections which may or may not be considered as 'posh', and therefore as an indicator of wealth.

The sad thing is that these kind of slurs are generally not considered discriminatory, but instead as a token of civilized behavior.
