Fun fact, people really enjoy accusing minorities of being bad people. That’s why I’m always to scared to stand up for myself. It will be my fault.

That’s right.
Just because you’re a minority born and raised in a struggling household in a bad neighbourhood, that doesn’t give you an excuse to act like an asshole. Do better.
Just because you have Autism/ADD/other that doesn’t mean its ok to be an asshole to people. You’ve lived with that condition for long enough that you should be able to manage it. Do better.

*neighborhood. Not neighb our hood. Do better.

Are these supposed to be examples to the contrary?
Having autism isn’t an excuse to be an asshole.
Neither is being a slave, really. It’s just that, coming from me, that’s kind of like an abusive father telling you not to be angry after I hit you.

Telling a person who doesn’t know better to just do better will at best do nothing and at worst exacerbate the problem.
Sure, telling people to do better makes me feel better about myself, but it does nothing beyond that.

I wouldn’t tell someone to just do better, but that’s because I have tact.
I have plenty of sympathy for the difficulties of self-improvement, but only for people who actually try. Life is about steeling oneself against harsh winds so that you may see the sun again. If you have forgotten all about the sun, I don’t know what to do with you. It’s sad, is what it is.

It’s a universal rule

I guess we can then tell people who don’t know better to just magically do better. That will fix it.

Exactly, see you get it.
