| Message | Honestly we see no need with the current policy. Citizenship is granted to property owners. Currently public amenities are not segregated, but if private businesses wish, they may. Finally, education institutions for all girls or all boys would be unable to operate if Article 3 is passed. Public education facilities are also not segregated. Maybe most of you need a history lesson on Gaduridos. Slavery happened in Gaduridos as half our nation was destroyed and that is how we came out of chaos. Are some people racist? Absolutely as can be seen by many remarks promoting segregation. However, we have tried to keep ethnic strife to a minimum as the military is largely commanded by Gaduridos (people from Marligantos of mixed Gaduri and Vintalli origin) as opposed to Gaduri (Salnaeta & Pernessia) and Vintalli. Most slaves aren't even Vintalli as they are mostly foreigners. Does that mean some are Vintalli? Yes. But some are also Gaduridos. It is just how it happened. In the future, after our nation is rebuilt, we may be inclined to visit this issue and repeal slavery. |
