Implying that all conservatives are idiots ? <| sep |> Phil Simms has a hand fetish ? <| sep |> Link to original wikipedia post <| sep |> You and your obsession with orange P <| sep |> I don ' t think it ' s quite the same as human racism , and to examine their society through our human perception of how society works is already setting yourself up for failure . There ' s a couple reasons for this Pokmon aren ' t going to care about being more humane than others because there aren ' t any humans to aspire to be like . For all we know the situation could easily be reversed and the society prefers quadruple Pokmon for X , Y , or Z reason . Human racism and Pokmon speciesism aren ' t the same . Human racism is bad because humans are all the same except for culture and skin color , only the latter of which is racism discrimination on culture is exactly that . Discrimination or intolerance . Pokmon discrimination is much more reliant on context . A Scyther isn ' t going to be who you want to hire to be a masseuse , and a Slugma isn ' t going to do well in the Navy . In these cases it ' s not racism or speciesism or whatever to turn those Pokmon down because of what they are , those are genuinely poor fits for the job , unfortunately out of their own control . EDIT I knew I was forgetting something . Anyways , could there be a strong sense of pride among different species ? Absolutely . Could there be conflicts over this pride ? Of course . Is it the same as human racism ? It really depends on the context , but these conflicts wouldn ' t start over the reasons you presented .
