@hgrsd@hachyderm.io Circling back to the original question or criticism posed, I wholeheartedly agree with it, though, this inevitably poses the question of alternatives, especially on a level of children's storytelling that both has to be simplified for the audience and more carefully crafted to have a more educational outcome than with other audiences without coming off too in a know-it-all manner. I don't have all the answers and I'm sure not qualified for this.

@hgrsd@hachyderm.io Okay, just thinking here: If I were asked to devise such a plot what would I come up with? Probably not the protagonist being discriminated but another newcomer. However, maybe not outright discriminated: Okay, if you first see something or someone, you don't know, your first reaction as a child is probably both fascination and a little fear (though 'fear' is probably too strong a word for this) of the uncertainty about that, not the person themself. 9/
