It sucks to be a minority that is continuously and contemptuously discriminated against. If only those progressives would do something about THESE minorities.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.--Groucho Marx.
It all depends on how you phrase it, how you want to look at it, and what you can get out of dissing it. There are those who look at that classic quote and say, "I don't get it." Language to them is fixed, like the concept of "race." Sociologists will tell you there are many; biologists will tell you there is one. The screamers and scolds (called activists) will say that "being colorblind" is racist, which comes back to Groucho if you can't distinguish between red and blue.
It all depends on what you want out of what you hear or read.
My favorite quote from Groucho is, "I refuse to join any organization that would have me as a member". If more people got THAT joke, we would have far fewer problems.

Nice take on minorities, Rad!
Thanks.
