I didn't say sit back and take it.  All I said was first try to find a

We are a very small minority, so when there are like 10 million subscribers, we are the little fish. It won't change until we do change it. Accepting it is not changing it. I think taking action and reporting it is a step in the right direction, but if we continue to accept second-class citizenship, we will continue to be second-class citizens. I wasn't going to say anything, but my goodness! I had to.
