Yeah, we're not cats and mice, we're HUMANS.In any case: I'm not saying it's good to be hated, I'm also not saying that straight white dudes are exempt from being victims of anything, what I am saying is that it's incredibly unlikely, because you're not hated in an impressive way: you're hated because you're feared. It's like telling a mouse it's derailing its own life for hating a cat. The metaphor isn't great.
So maybe I won't face the same "kind" of prejudice as other minorities 'cause I was born with pale skin. But you y'know what? If they're gonna hate and fear me because of something that I can't control, and if you're gonna lump me in with the kind of people who embedded that fear into others in the first place rather than judging me by my OWN actions... bah. I don't like hypocrites, okay?
Color of your skin, gender, whatever shouldn't give anyone a free pass for prejudice. I don't care which way it goes, and I don't care if it's overly idealistic or even impossible, but you're not gonna eradicate prejudice via diddlying PREJUDICE.
