Out of interest Master, can you explain to me why it is worse?

I mean say 5 people go to school. All are bullied. One is black. One is fat. One is ugly. One is gigner. (hang on I guess that means two are ugly now) One is gay.

They are all disliked by certain people at school as a direct result of these characteristics.

According to you, the black guy suffers a far worse time, his ordeal is more hurtful and severe because it is the colour of his skin they dn't like, rather than the amount of skin (fat boy), the hair growing out of the skin (ginger kid) the face that is coated in white skin (ugly boy) etc.

It seems to me that when it comes to name calling I would rather be disliked by someone for somwthing generic and non personal like my race, than something that is part of me directly, ugliness, sexuality, ginger hair, fat etc.

If the real racist element doesnt exist (no subjugation, denial of rights, having to hold an inferior status within your society) then it's just name calling.

I would argue that women in Saudi Arabia are treated far worse than black footballers or golfers in the UK or US. That's real sexism, the denial of rights. On the other hand David Cameron telling a female MP to 'Calm down dear' for example is not real sexism, as he's not subjugating or denying her any rights. She is equal in the eyes of British society.

I just hate that the trivial gets included within the serious.
