If for arguments sake it was a competition, who would you say had suffered the most? Black people or Christians in the US?
Quote: If calling someone a Christard has the same effects on a Christian and for the same reason, just in a lesser magnitude, then it would seem inconsistent to treat them differently. Are we going to take a poll to see whose suffering matters and whose suffering doesn't?
Christard has no historical significance.

And which group out of the two historically have enjoyed protection? Which group had to fight tooth and nail to be recognised as equal human beings?
