Scabs?

[Maria Gilmore]

My only additional observations to Carroll and Yoshie are, where do you
get the idea that males of European lineage who are without power are
the main, indeed the only agents of all these terrible things?  Or that
they're somehow as a group more guilty than others?  The really tough
thing about confronting this society is, so many people, all colors,
sexes, and socio-economic status, are racist, sexist, homophobic...and
class-conscious!   Some of the most sexist people I've ever known have
been women; some of the most racist, people of color; some of the most
ignorant, academics; I have even known homophobic gays, in the sense
that they choose not to be a part of a "gay community"; as one guy I
worked with once put it, "I don't like to associate with other gay
people."

So I think it's counterproductive, if not downright vindictive, to bash
one segment of our culture as being worse than another.  It's, well,
unjust, now isn't it?
