<Snipped quote by Penny>

Even before that though, I was looking for documented examples of it actually happening and I found three. And in two of them, the person got to come in anyway after a brief (but wildly offensive) forced-absence, and in the third case it wasn't someone on their deathbed but someone with a fever.

My point being, you know, Democrats used to string black people up from trees and light them on fire. PERSPECTIVE. A little bit of perspective here. It's not so bad these days, really.

It's almost like political parties changed ideologies at some post in time. Also, I fucking hate that argument that because things aren't as bad that you shouldn't complain. "Sure you can be fired for being gay or transgender in the US and we're constantly trying to limit your rights to adopt and to scapegoat trans people as pedophiles and force them to use the bathroom their genetalia corresponds to, despite the fact that this won't limit sexual assault and is more likely to cause trans people to be assaulted themselves! But hey! We're not killing you like in the Middle East."
