Well, if someone is 27 years old. They can only have been marginalized for 27 years personally. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:33 6
- well, if you've been marginalized your entire life, I imagine that has an effect. - mafic Feb 12, 22:41 3
  - Oh, I said on the BB. I think the harm it causes is giving white people to have an excuse to exclude people. They do it, so we can do it. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:45 2
    - I think the people that do that are deliberately misinterpreting the point, and would find a reason whether the image awards existed or not. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 22:48 1
      - Probably. -- nm - Redmond Feb 12, 22:50
- But its only one generation. A culture can only change so much in one generation. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 22:36
- and the younger generations will have a progressively less marginalized perspective of society, for sure. - znufrii Feb 12, 22:35
