I don’t want you to add them just to appease me, because that’s honestly not my goal: to wear you down until you finally concede. I want you to actually tell me what you think is the difference between your mindset and mine. Is it because you don’t see/understand the difference, because if you don’t we can go over it a few more times. Do you think that discrimination doesn’t happen on the wiki? Do you think that if some discriminated comment was said, that people would say something?

There's a reason why I spent hours on end trying to explain it to you. And it's exactly what you said. Discrimination is discrimination. I hope you can acknowledge that it does happen. It probably happens to a lot of other people too, but it's horrible because people get away with it. Hatred taught is in the silence of too many people. If we don't say anything, who will?

I mean, if something happened on the street, would you stop it? Would you agree along with them? Or would you duck your head down and continue walking? Unfortunately, I’ve ducked my head down too many times. I don’t want to contribute to the bullying and suffering that people have to go through on a daily basis because someone is narrow minded and people aren’t standing up.

When you think about it, some people honestly believe that if it's not written down in black in white, it doesn't apply. It's a sad mindset, but it happens. And there’s also a line between an opinion and discrimination, and that line can be blurred very often.

I’m willing to compromise. Like, I don’t feel like some of the ones I listed are main/giant priority or common on the wiki, but I added them just for the fact that it does apply to some people. But I hope you’re willing to at least compromise instead of saying that absolutely none of them matter, they’re not necessary and won’t even be considered.
