I do not mean to say that humanity doesn't discriminate, and I don't mean to say that that shouldn't be considered a bad thing. I mean that saying "we are treated as not human" implies a far worse treatment than stereotyping. I consider someone who is thought by society to be inhuman to have zero rights, not to be human outside of one right, or a few.
This is where I will take a rather binary stance in favor of idealism. The level of discrepancy between the ways different groups of people are treated is of no concern to me. That is exists at all is factual, and something to continually address and improve upon. I can see that you and I do not perceive it to be of the same severity, but like I said, the issue deserves acknowledgement and discussion.I mean that saying "we are treated as not human" implies a far worse treatment than stereotyping.
