A sobering reminder of how much growing up the world has left to do. And we're (the US) is still light years ahead over many other countries where people are still persecuted for their skin colour, sexuality, or beliefs.

On the bright side, things at least seem to be on a positive trajectory. Not more than 100 years ago, the U.S. had much much much worse levels of discrimination of various types. It's gonna take some time til we reach Star Trek-levels of maturity, and unfortunately, there are never any shortcuts.
