When was the last time a gay in your home town was actually strung up? How about a black man? As a direct contrast, the number of minorities in my little hometown has increased at a startling rate the past 3 years. People mumble and grumble, but none of them would ever consider not hiring one of them because they were black/mexican/democrat.

Thank you for perfectly demonstrating my point.

I think you're delusional if you don't think there's incidents of discrimination against minorities or those with non-hetero sexual orientations.

But to give you a very specific example, you may remember this from the news this year:

If you're going to be that snarky, at least be right.
