And it's all tied up with that "Well, we're on the right side of history, so of COURSE you're going to let us get OURS first, and you'll get yours, too, by and by...." which is closely related to "Well, who you gonna get a better deal from? US???? Or THEM???"

If you've never been treated differently as a consequence of how you look--and nothing other than that--it's a foreign concept. If you've ALWAYS been treated dfferently as a consequence of how you look, it's SSDD.
