im gonna refer to the cookie analogy again: person a has a plate of 100 cookies and person b has a plate of 1 cookie. take away 1 cookie from each of them bc that's ~equality.~ except now person a has 99 cookies left to enjoy and person b has none.

when both person a and person b have 100 cookies on their plate, then go ahead and start preaching about "treating everyone equally."

This is exactly what's at the heart of covert racism and covert homophobia that a lot of people just simply don't understand.

All that interview has done is show JR still doesn't have any idea why people are upset and he's not the least bit remorseful regardless. He nailed it when he admitted to being a straight, white (privileged) male. Too bad he doesn't want to use that to his advantage and, I don't know, speak out for the minorities he's currently oppressing. (Matt McGorry is a beautiful example.)
