The only point I am making Doug and BWM is that 'schoolyard bullying' or its grown up equivalent is not in the same league as the race discrimination that the world is still witnessing. There is no KKK hanging people with red hair. There is no National Front beating up blondes. There is no fundamentalists burning the churches of those who wear glasses. (Khmer Rouge excepted!)

I said right at the outset that I accept it is a problem but I still believe that there is no comparison of scale or intensity. If you believe there is, fine, that is your opinion and you are as entitled to it as I am to mine.
