The Lord of the Rings features characters of diverse backgrounds working together toward a common goal. And to most moviegoers, it's about the best thing ever.
:Query:
If America can love a story about the exploits of little people, homosexuals, old people, and the overweight, why can't we show these same real life groups any respect?
:Statement:
Even those with nothing to recommend them sport with the dignity of those who differ from the norm. The first skill learned by those with a lack of discernible talent is deflection; ridiculing another to ensure their own safe passage through society.
:Hypothesis:
Overextend yourself to come to the defense of your fellow (wo)man. After all, their rights are your rights; never feel safe just because your personal deviance from the accepted has not been exposed yet. (Mine is a penchant for loud funk music combined with an irresistible urge to copy Nicholas brothers dance numbers.) Ask yourself why you accept a thing while your disbelief is suspended, but not when you're headed to the grocery store.

I personally find it hilarious the number of black men(connected to white women) who erupt in epithets at the mention of gay marriage but do not know the word miscegenation.

Damn, you're good. How can you possibly hate what you are? *zing!*
