I don't think it ruins my argument at all - It just means that one old boy, and good on him, saw the error of his ways - as a story, it's great as a statistic it is meaningless. sorry, but it is.
Ok, to add to my many other faults I am now ageist. Ok, I can lve with it if you'd like to believe that.
Try to think of them as human beings? great advice, i'll endeavour to give it a go.
I was not assuming that the elderly (or coffin dodgers, if it helps fulfill your opinion of me).
As for not doing it to make yourself feel better, I don't believe you. I don't mean to be insulting, but I'm trying to be honest. I may be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.


So where are your foolproof statistics that he was the exception not the rule? Anything to back that up? Thought not. Until that is proven I will continue to attempt to whittle away at racism bit by little bit.

And even if he was the exception, every mind opened is a victory against racism.

And, yes, you are wrong. I was not doing it to try to please myself, apart from the fact that I wouldn't be able to face myself if I didn't speak up for my own point of view. Do you prefer to keep your opinions to yourself just because it gives you an easy ride? How does that poem go?

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
