Thread Name: BS: Traveller Discrimination in the US 3
Subject: RE: BS: Traveller Discrimination in the US 3
Lemmee get this straight:

Ms. Toogood is not a criminal, she's been wrongfully convicted in the past because she's a Traveller.

She shouldn't be treated as a flight risk -- even though it's an inherent part of her culture and she already has a history of it, Because she's a Traveller, she should get special treatment.

It's not her fault she hit the kid, because she was mad at someone else. It's the store's fault she abused her daughter.

It's the store's fault she can't control her anger.

The store should not implement it's normal security procedures, because she's a Traveller and it might hurt her feelings.

And anyone who doesn't think that "poor Ms. Toogood" is the victim instead of the child is racist and a bigot.
