And a good fight it is. And if you think that slinging stereotypes is the best way to retain the moral high ground, by all means continue.

I believe you are never going to convince those who could be convinced when they see you start by talking down to them.

They've been willful oppressors/collaborators who offer "if you agree to do things on my terms, I'll treat you less badly than others".
