The Nineteenth Death: People are stupid, news at eleven
What nonsense on the network today. This must be a weekly thing. Not enough people were making a fool of themselves prior to this, I'm sure. [/sarcasm]
As I understand it, demihumans have never been shown to be anything than more-or-less, depending human, no more or less prone to being heroic or sensible, or any one of a thousand other adjectives one may be, than any other people. They are, in fact, people. Being a person has nothing to do with one's genetic make-up.
Really, how does such nonsense perpetuate itself?
[Susan sounds rather put-upon with that sigh. Which is code for 'I will be drinking tea somewhere quiet and quite away from the silliness until someone decides to be sensible with me'. And possibly chocolate.]
