It's not too late for anyone. You did this to yourself. You destroyed the trust you once had with the community. You eroded the trust you built up due to your own recycling. You can move forward and set everything straight or you can complain, demand special treatment and just keep going as you are.

You are not the spokesperson for any "ethnic minorities" as you call them. Those people you refer to so callously are our fellow community members. We are all equal on this planet.
