I think the point is missed on the mermaid. Sure skin color is a social construct based on our natural need to classify, sure it is prevelant and influences society greatly. The question is why should it and is it healthy to fuel tribalism that leads to anarchy and riots. It’s not denying anything to say something is stupidly Detrimental. Many atheist here feel the same way about religious institutions. What value do each of us put on these classifications: race, religion, ethnicity, class, background, history? What value to we place on the actions, words and deeds of the individual? Those are good questions here.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
