I think it might help to reveal my rough line of thinking behind some of my posts.

There seem to be people who believe that any form of intolerance, discrimination, racism, etc are wrong with no compromises and they are an example of such a person living in this manner.

It seems to me that such an uncompromising view is untrue. If I can provide a single counterexample in which it is acknowledged there is some blurriness then this proves that point and other examples will follow.

Following this, if we agree there are grey areas and people differ in this regard, everyone should not tolerate everything and every instance of racism or discrimination is not bad, then we do not have fundamentally different positions in this regard, we are only different in where we draw our lines and start to question things.

I think this would be progress and from this point I think people might be able to start to see where I am coming from by consideration of the boundaries, what they are, how they form and so on.

It is strange that I, the discriminator supposedly lacking understanding of others, seem to be taking a more compromising view on this compared to some of those who preach unbridled antidiscrimination messages.
