I see your point, but that's a poor metaphor. In fact, a better metaphor would be if you were to tell people in your house that if they're going to be racist, they had better include racism against white people as well. I do not agree that equality is served in any way by entrapping more people in what is a shitty system to begin with.
Not that I agree with your recasting, but as it stands, in your own words, you're admitting to differential treatment.
The reason why I don't agree with your recasting is that I don't accept racism against whites in my house either ... but that's barely relevant, right?
The fact is that the policy here accepts the status quo when it can do better, if only for one little corner of the 'Net. That is the issue.The fact is that by not encouraging (if not mandating) a better system, a tacit approval is given to the system in place. If y'all want to dig your trenches and fight there, so be it ... but understand the ground you've chosen for your fight.
