The opening of this documentary really hits home for me because, even as a fairly standard white boy, I was part of the out group my entire life. And I think I still am, even now - I've experienced that kind of treatment even as an adult in the workplace. The concept of tyranny and superior/inferior seems so commonplace to me that I've never perceived human nature to be anything but. It's heart breaking.
Racism, and isms of similar ilk, are just expressions of what I have to believe is...either human nature or conditioning.
