Yes indeed. I was comparing two particulars, but the lesson to be learned is that the day we start treating anyone as our inferiors is the day we become inferior ourselves. I have long been of the opinion that I could never be racist, sexist, or any "ist" until I could find someone I actually believe is worse than myself. With the exception of some particular dealings I haven't found that yet.
