If we are going to have pride months for something.you were just born with - they should be included.
I always thought pride should be reserved for ACHIEVEMENT. Getting accolades for something as random as the genetics you were born with seems a bit trite.
I’m not an American, so this may be a gap in my education, but I can’t seem to recall a period in your history when short, hazel-eyed people were:
-Sold as chattel in slave markets.
-Denied housing, employment and medical care.
-Required to pass literacy tests to vote.
-Jailed for their height or eye colour.
-Told that being short and hazel-eyed was a sin.
-Subject to extrajudicial execution.
-Denied the opportunity to serve in the military.
-Made to endure discrimination specifically designed to make sure they understood that they were somehow less than human.
