No, I do not recognize that as I have not checked on their livelihoods and freedoms in the US or Iran of each and every minority, even by statistics, alone, but I DO read reports about wrongful deaths and murders cause by BOTH governments (and it's elected leaders / police / military / extremists claiming to represent the govts ideals) every single year, and lawsuits and oversight groups prove that there is much to be done in lowering the number of atrocities in each country. Both have murder, starvation, racism bigotry, unfair legislation aimed at various groups (and just the people as a whole), legislation based at least in part of ruling parties religious beliefs, etc. No, it is your job to show me the proof if you are claiming we (minorities) are better off, because that is YOUR opinion. I am not claiming we are worse here, just that our govts are similar in their function and problems (though not the same, absolutely agreed), and that those problems (that lead to death and/or the removal of the ability to pursue happiness) are more like each other and more likely to cause such atrocieties than the peoples of iran and the USA are. Simple really, and I fail to see why you are so intent on getting opinions out of me otherwise. My stance is clear.
