This is the dumbest thing I've read all week.

You're getting downvoted, rightly, but I wanted to explain why that is.

> Is that racist ?

Yes

> Do you people really want to live in a world where gays,transgenders,gypsies,blacks,hispanics,yellows,purples are favoured and put on pedestal

You've got a pretty distorted view of all this. No-one (sane) is advocating for putting any group on a pedestal, we're just asking people to treat others as if they were human beings, which they are. It's really not that hard to grasp.

For example, in this case we are discussing no-one is asking for the kid to get special treatment because of his race, instead they are pointing out that he should not be actively discriminated against because of his race.

Terrorism exist due to hateful positions like yours. I really hope you seek help - you clearly need to resolve some anger issues.
