Why is it ok to put down one minority group and not another?Just to be clear every human being should be the beneficiary of our charity by virtue of their being human. Regardless of whether people are Negro, Caucasian or Asian, they are all existentially and essentially equal. At the same time it is entirely rational to recognize that not all beliefs and behaviors are equally praiseworthy. Thus it is not wrong to hate beliefs, like anti-Semitism, or perverted behaviors, like wanton gluttony. Skin-heads are a minority group and I have no problem putting them down.
