Are We Not All Equal?

[Waldo 96]

This is potentially controversial. Please don't get angry. I'm not setting out to offend or diminish anyone.

 

Do we attach value (more or less) to an individual, on the basis of the body they inhabit?

 

For example, I'm wondering...

 

If 2 young gay poor black boys were attacked on a bus (for not kissing); would that attract similar levels of public outcry as the 2 lesbian girls?

 

If Greta Thunberg was a poor Pakistani boy, would she (he) have attracted so much media attention?

 

If the answer to the above 2 questions is no; then why not?

I'd say where you're born and who you're born to, will determine the outcome of your life irrespective of looks, personality and physical attributes.

The NHS treat people differently, depending on the body they inhabit and have done so for many years.
