RE: Pride: Which of these does not belong?
I think that's why it was called reverse-discrimination, the pendulum swinging the other way. Which is a good way to describe it.
But like I said it began in the early 1970s - going on 50 years now, nearly two generations. That's a long time for a pendulum to swing in one direction. Do you think it will swing back? Come to a more equal ground? Where it doesn't matter one bit what you look like, just on how well you do your job? Maybe that was the hope at the time. And maybe one day it will be true. But how many generations will it take?
Ideally, I would like to see things brought and kept near a balance.
The situation is in such a state of flux right now, with so many competing agendas and interests (some of them desire the strategy of tension because that allows groups to be played off against each other), that it's tough to predict.
