If I was born with green feet and you were born with pink ones, perhaps my opinions should hold the same weight as the guy born with pink feet. Just because you were born with pink feet doesn't make you any more or less special than me.

No one said that. Feeling insecure?

Not in the least, but thanks for trying to make it personal.

I'm just pointing out that you saying that because someone is from the majority then their opinion counts less is flawed.
