Tells us something about the education system in that country you're probably thinking of, but nothing about the rest of the worldFreedom is still a rare gift.
I know of one place in the world that has freedom from government censorship as part of it's main rules. Can you believe that? Only one country in the entire world?
Ya... it is remarkable... thanks for acknowledging that. I’m talking about taking away the labels: minority, black, Asian, white, etc. Each of these groups have members who can and do exhibit bigotry toward other groups and even to those within their own group who they view as different. No group is exempt it seems. The problem is very very complex.The mental gymnastics of this sentence is remarkable. You took the labels out of the equation and ended up with "discrimination", "hatred" and "bigotry"?
On my reading list. I missed that experience in high school but one of my kids just had it in a class.The "Animal Farm" must be mandatory reading in high school. It is a short and vivid reminder of the greatest lesson we have learned in the 20th century: Be wary of loud people with flags who are offended on someone else's behalf.

... and getting back to the original 2017 question... it seems to me that photography was mostly practiced in areas of higher affluence. It’s more about having money and interest than color.
a minority can just as easily be the oppressor. it depends where you live.
That's the spirit. Once again in this thread I see yet another reference to mysterious evil "those". Are you trying to erase dividers between people or create new ones? Nobody in 1917 said "let's build gulags", that's not how it started.
You are very correct, of course, and that comment could be applied to a good number of threads. LOL.Do y'all realize what has happened here? One troll with an agenda dug up one thread from years ago and did nothing except ruin your days and waste your time. Continue to argue your points of view if you must, but be aware of the influence it's taking on your lives.

What exactly does that mean? It's certainly not an excuse.

My 2 cents... the struggle to be recognized, let alone profit as an artist is universal. It cuts across every race, gender, gender identity, creed, persuasion, class, origin, body fat content, really any diversification imaginable. What unites all of these people is art. In my experience the social or cultural identity of the artist is not a consideration for an art buyer or investor, and good art exists across every financial and cultural spectrum imaginable. Is having means and time an advantage? Of course, but not so much as might be imagined when it comes to creating and selling art. The the internet has made the ability to find markets is easier than it has ever been.
True bigots do exist, and need to be called out but there are far less of them than the current narrative would have one believe, a large part of this climate being fueled by those who are looking for power and money, and find it by dividing us in the most banal ways possible.
Work to be done? Of course. But it needs to be honest. Dividing people in the way I have observed over maybe the last ten years has been completely regressive, and it is being perpetuated by nearly all of our so called ruling class.
There is truth to that but... it’s being perpetuated by much more than the so-called ruling class. That has caused escalation to a Hatfield v McCoy situation. If we could all just get along...and it is being perpetuated by nearly all of our so called ruling class.
I look at a person for what they can do or did with what they started with and their initial abilities, not by race, religion, or origin.
And their minions...There is truth to that but... it’s being perpetuated by much more than the so-called ruling class. That has caused escalation to a Hatfield v McCoy situation. If we could all just get along...
I'm not saying its an excuse - I'm saying minority is not a synonym for oppressed. Take 4 examples
1. i lived in a military junta for a while as a visitor - thats a majority being ruled by a minority.
2. black americans are a minority in both USA and Liberia but in Liberia they are the power brokers of the country (with a horrendous track record)
3. Im my own country, the UK, it was ruled by an aristocracy and mercantile elite minority until after WW1.
4. I lived in a chinese backed Jihadist country for a while - where a tiny elite with access to a lot of money and weapons ruled over a lot of diverse peoples.
I am sure people can think of many more circumstances
There was a young Doctor who said something along these lines way before I was born. I think he was forgotten in the annals of history though.
So how does that change what's been going on in the USA for hundreds of years? It's wrong in those places as well.
No he is not forgotten. Murdered for his (peaceful) beliefs.

Social discourse? People are already getting fired for politically insensitive tweets they made when they were 14. We're marching full speed towards gulags with your "social discourse", my friend.
Look in the mirror. It's in present tense because you can't curb your lust to feel morally superior to imaginary "those" and politicians and advertisers prey on your weakness. There will always be a menu of things to feel outraged about.
I'm afraid you've assumed you know enough about me to draw conclusions about me.
Any chance you'll answer the question I posed?
