#2Old habits die hard.
We abolished slavery and then replaced it with Jim Crow laws:

We have the biggest concentration camps in the world for primarily people of color.

“ Despite making up close to 5% of the global population, the U.S. has nearly 25% of the world’s prison population. Since 1970, our incarcerated population has increased by 700% – 2.3 million people in jail and prison today, far outpacing population growth and crime.
One out of every three Black boys born today can expect to go to prison in his lifetime, as can one of every six Latino boys—compared to one of every 17 white boys.”

It would definitely be nice if we had less crime. Anyway, this is not relates to the article. Go preach somewhere else.

You think that's bad? Wait until you hear about the horrible service I got from my local garage the other day. Took my car in for a routine service and the staff were completely unprofessional and rude. Didn't do the job I asked of them and then had the gall to charge a fortune for it. What a rip-off!
Just thought I'd mention that, since the theme is apparently "random complaints which have nothing whatsoever to do with the linked article".

We are reminded daily in the USA that 9-11 was not about outside terror but inside terror trying to grab power through injecting fear into a system to attempt to over throw it using the effing same BS that stared the civil war

#8> The forebears of nearly two-thirds of India’s Catholics are Dalits who converted to escape stigma. Yet among four cardinals and 31 archbishops, only two are of Dalit origin.
(Rest of it aside) that specifically doesn't seem necessarily that bad? If many of them aren't exactly devout Catholics ('converted to escape') then it seems reasonable they wouldn't (perhaps even want to!) reach high office. And there's perhaps a different stigma surrounding converts anyway, that's nothing specific to what they converted from or their status within it.

#9Caste is so insane, in western diaspora communities its thankfully starting to die out though. My generation (3rd generation in the west) aren't really educated enough on traditions to know about caste or care.

Pathetic response. The OP gave context to the human condition that allows this and another example where such problems are entrenched.
But I do hope you find a better garage to get your car serviced at.
All the best.
