The -isms

Declaring that a woman is physically inferior to men is not sexism.
Believing that this makes her less worthy of living is.

Stating that minorities are more prone to violent crime than whites is not racism.
Believing that this makes them less worthy of freedom is.

Insinuating that shorter players are less adept at basketball is not heightism.
Believing that this makes them unable to play is.

Preaching that young adolescents are not as wise as their elders is not ageism.
Believing that this makes their opinion worthless is.

Shouting that fat people are lazier than fit people is not fatism.
Believing that we should skin them and cook them to feed the hungry is.

Clamoring about how soda is less inherently more healthy than water is not sodaism.
Believing that we should ban all soda is.

Exclaiming that humans are better at running than birds is not avianism.
Believing that we should drown baby birds because of this is.

Not everyone is born equal. Not everything is made equal. Pretending that everything is equal is denying reality. Don't allow uncontrollable circumstances cloud your judgement. But that doesn't mean that they have less of a right to be here than you do.
