It seems you've isolated the above quote out of context with the rest of the story. Cyn was young and felt this way for years because blonde-haired and blue-eyed girls were some of her first experiences with people that bullied her. Imagine you were young and your first experience with dogs was a terrible bite that caused you to bleed. You may end up with an irrational fear of dogs.
Trauma can color your experience in life, and it can program you to either rationally or irrationally trust or distrust others. But then, later, we grow up more and realize that everyone is just an individual, and not all peoples are subject to groupthink and group behavior.
Ask yourself this, @felixxx; What kind of message does your downvote say to a woman who just poured her heart out into a post and shared some of her childhood trials and triumphs with perfect strangers on the internet? Come on; I know you're better than that. Hell, I bet if you meditate deeply on the content of the post that even someone like yourself (who is quick to judge) can find it in your heart to turn that downvote right side up back where it belongs.
Thank god for sane, intelligent, competent, level-headed, understanding, appreciative, respectful commenters here on Hive like @barge and yourself, @thoughts-in-time . Much love and appreciation to both of you.
Twas my pleasure, I enjoyed the post, and I'd also like to think that @felixxx just made an honest mistake. Sometimes language barriers can get people to misinterpret things and jump to conclusions.
@felixxx, maybe you could help me and my friend Ryze here figure something out. I think that perhaps you downvoted Cyn's post because of a simple misunderstanding. Perhaps, something got lost in translation from English to die Deutsche Sprache. Whereas Ryze, on the other hand, he's showing me a screenshot that seems to indicate that you only half-ass read what you vote. Anyways, I'd be curious to know what the true-true is, as it may be the case that Ryze and I have a gentleman's wager (0.001) about who is correct.
Her entire post needs to be quoted for context. She is saying she was bullied by the 5 blonde white girls in the class because she was a brown skin girl with brown hair. The author of the post is describing how her classmates were racist towards her and hateful.
How you can accuse the author of the post of being hateful isnt logical.
If you were bullied for being skinny that was people causing trauma to you for being skinny. If those people generally were fat causing you this trauma then it is logical to have issues with fat people.
It could have been x y or z group causing you trauma and you would be logical in having issues with said group. That's just the way our brains work.
I really don't see where there is any 'hate' @felixxx....I wonder what you are referring to!?
If the roles were reversed, even you would see how terrible such a statement is.

Possible, and I'd love for that to be the case, but from his previous comments on posts of mine, I'd say such a diagnosis is doubtful:

I guess I see an expression of pain/a painful experience rather than hostility or loathing, which I would associate more with hate.
I think that, within the context of what has been expressed, a role-reversal would not alter my perception.
thank you for replying to this person and getting my post. Thank you for saying this. It's so kind and I genuinely appreciate it, deeply. ❤️❤️❤️
seems fair
Seems racist, actually.
It seems like a "broad-brush" fallacy.
No "more" and no "less" "evil" than any other logical fallacy.
The 5 white blonde girls were racist to her because she was brown and had brown hair.
Glad to see you changed your mind and saw the white girls were being racist.

Care to explain?
You're the only one to say this.
Me being the only to say it, does not mean anything.
I changed my mind: I was the skinniest in my class and now I distrust all fat people, naturally. That's why I keep the downvote as it is.
