And as someone who has Alhemizer's in his family, I say, this is disgusting. Anytime illusion is taken over truth, you will sow trouble. What will happen when people start to like the idea of living like this? Will the Blacks and Muslims get to live in a specially authentic ghetto, complete with Jim Crow style sdrinking fountains and lunch counters? Will they at least collect a stipend for doing that, since it is an "act", as opposed to the normal reality where they get treated badly for free?
