Should they have put her on house arrest in a hotel room? She doesn't deserve special privileges. A huge swath of the US population would be adamantly against her being treated special.

Do you know that mixed race marriage did not gain majority support in the USA until 1995? Sometimes it is right to not give a fuck about what "a huge swath of the US population thinks".

And in this case, it's not about "special priviledges", it's about the ridiculousness of this process being applied to anyone in her circumstances.

My ancestors (going back to the 1400s) were the living embodiment of "the mutt mindset", only rooted in northern Europe. Someone who didn't want to fight in the Hugenot wars ran off to England, and the fucking began...

What people say on polls and reality are very different. Most people in all countries don't support mixed race marriage.

Again, discretion is a thing.

Discretion rubs both ways.

Just because it didn't happen to your/our preference this time doesn't mean it never happens.

I don't see what point you're trying to make here.

The point was discretion should have been used this care regardless of other times it has been.
