It seems you've isolated the above quote out of context with the rest of the story. Cyn was young and felt this way for years because blonde-haired and blue-eyed girls were some of her first experiences with people that bullied her. Imagine you were young and your first experience with dogs was a terrible bite that caused you to bleed. You may end up with an irrational fear of dogs.

Trauma can color your experience in life, and it can program you to either rationally or irrationally trust or distrust others. But then, later, we grow up more and realize that everyone is just an individual, and not all peoples are subject to groupthink and group behavior.

Ask yourself this, @felixxx; What kind of message does your downvote say to a woman who just poured her heart out into a post and shared some of her childhood trials and triumphs with perfect strangers on the internet? Come on; I know you're better than that. Hell, I bet if you meditate deeply on the content of the post that even someone like yourself (who is quick to judge) can find it in your heart to turn that downvote right side up back where it belongs.
