I should point out re: my last paragraph that the nature of privilege puts the burden for this change on the majority, to listen to marginal voices. Reading back it just sounds like "You lot all want your heads knocking together and you're all as bad as each other", which is emphatically NOT what I meant. The power balance is unquestionably unequal; so, therefore, is the responsibility.
