Inexcusable Jokes by Autie-Biographical on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Having grown up in a small, white town with more churches than schools there was a lot of bigotry that I had to unlearn.

Just because we're autistic doesn't mean that we get a free pass to be bigoted. We autistics are just as capable of being bigoted as anyone else.

I've heard the phrase "But they don't know any better" before in these situations, and my response to that is either:

1. Then explain it to them in a way they'll understand,

or

2. Yes they do, they just want to get away with bigotry.
