Perhaps it's just your perception that needs adjusting?

Yes, it's your perception, alright!
I've been exposed to what is referred `politely' as `reverse-rascism'
It's not a one way street.

No, you didn't see the difference.
Stop imposing your standards on others.

simply transfer the load onto others.
