I am a SriLankan Tamil. Tamil is a minority Language and we are the minority Society there, always discriminated by the majority Sinhalese people. Did abscond to Germany in 1980. Until today the discrimination continues here. Natives <=> Alies brown White etc etc. Since my birth I feel like a 5th class citizen!!!!!
If there is a rebirth I want to be born in a minority Society again to avoid Superstitions , Fasistic mentality of the majorities World.

I think 95% of the population are second class citizens,
Only the top 5% with the wealth are first class

Sometimes yes. I feel like there's an upper class that can make lots of mistakes and get away with it, that doesn't have to buy their own groceries or clothes, and that gets preferential treatment in the legal system. I'm part of the "other" class who only seems to get phone calls / mail / email when someone is selling something.

Well, I know that some 'christians' who preach hate, bigtory, discrimination, and therefore violence against gay people would like me to feel like a second-class citizen in my own country.
Fortunately I can look past their small-mindedness to hope that they will get a wake-up call some day, that they will instead work towards peace, justice, tolerance and understanding. WWJD?

The only time I felt that way was when I worked as a cashier in a store. I have never in my life been treated so harshly.

Yes, there are many people who enjoy treating others that way. And if they are in a position of power, quite often they get away with it.

I aspire to be a second class citizen.
I hope you're not inciting racism. I'm watching you.
