Minority Awareness is not a Privilege day

Mark mentioned about the library has a LGBT awareness/day and started ranting about 'why do they have a special day/months to dedicate to, where is the 'normal/ordinary' day?'.

Neil joined in, and moments later turned into the discussion about race.  Neil had a colleague, who was very bad at his work, and the employer gave him special treatment and afraid of firing him.

The ordinary people has no idea what prejudices minority faces, and they have no idea it is a privilege not having to deal with the prejudices and offensive remarks from these ignorant ordinary people.

There are still a lot of education works to do on these ordinary people.
