To get a little clearer of an answer, I'll clarify my question and turn it into a two-parter (just for anyone who enjoys the thread):
1. What is the benefit from the thread that is gained from the thread? (What does it ADD to the community?)
2. Unless the benefit is immense, why does a consideration rest on being able to see it personally, vs taking the world of those whom it harms?
I find I'm quite curious about both. I'd really like to know the benefit that makes the thread worth having, likewise, I want to know where the line is drawn on action regarding things that harm others. I'm not a visible minority (white male!) but I've never relied on relating to what it's like to be discriminated based on look in order not to do it. If a minority makes it known that something is harmful to them, I'm pretty happy taking that opinion seriously and not doing whatever it is that causes the issue.
