This is a good example of why we must not abandon the humanities.
It is, in fact, an illustration of Adams' point: that in times of great conflict and injustice, the finer things in life must be put aside to help fight to ensure liberty and justice for all.
As long as people are oppressed because of their social class, gender expression, or any other innate aspect of their identity, it is our duty to, at the very least, try to understand that oppression, and stand up against it where we have the opportunity to do so.
Those who turn a blind eye to it because it's oppression of people they don't think deserve consideration are complicit in that oppression.
