Seriously?

Have you been living in a cave these last five centuries?

I haven't been around for the last five centuries, I was too busy living in the real world, and in the real world that I live in, people don't get picked on for not fitting in; as a matter of fact when you look at the Media, Movies, Music, modern advertising, and pretty much everything going on in the modern world, people are encouraged to be themselves, and everyone is encouraged to respect differences. Diversity is advertised as good, compliance to a rigid, traditional idea is discouraged.

When did it stop?

And what about the Mayans?

Didn’t they get kicked out?

You and I must live on totally different planets. And I work at a university, where respect and valuing of diversity is literally baked into the culture here. Hate and bigotry and prejudice and bullying are absolutely still a thing alongside all of that. Our own governor ruthlessly attacked diversity over the past year and destroyed extremely successful student retention programs for minority groups, in fact.

No, sounds like we live in the same world.

As long as people have a choice, there will always be those who will choose to do wrong. But the powers that be in today's world still value respect and diversity.

OK, so you don’t remember when they came for the Mayans.

Do you remember when they came for the Viachuatans?

That was in 2007, if I recall correctly.
