That's a great way to cover up your eyes and ears and pretend that the problem isn't there. Yeah, it sucks when people pull the "cards" - the race or gender or appearance or whatever card, but saying that all such problems are just the disenfranchised whining about not getting what they want is being stupid for the sake of believing what you believe.

Here, for instance, nobody would deny that A&F practices "lookism." Yes, they discriminate. Nobody disputes that! The issue is whether or not it's a) legally or b) morally okay. "Shut up, minorities" is the only wrong answer I can think of to those questions.
