I agree with what you are trying to say with this. Only, the wording in this quote is ...imprecise at best. Of course, everyone *should* be judged by the same rules. It's just that when applied to reality, the idea of radically treating and evaluating every action equally withut considering the circumstances leads to more inequality. So I'd say it makes you an optimist.

Now you do hear that "same rights for everyone" and "if 'they' deal with drugs 'they' deserve what they get" stuff a lot from racists, that's true.
But these phrases do *not* stem from their "always believing everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards", but from the paranoia that comes with having to let go of privileges in favor of real equality, and a warped conception that has them see themselves as a victim of inequality.

So yeah, basically valid idea, but the quote is poop.

dito for quotas for female employees etc. - to get back to the misogyny-topic.

The racist (or, being generous, politically right-wing) interpretation is what the quote is, in fact, arguing for. It is a quote that is precisely in defense of those people who are paranoid about their privileges and against the idea of considering circumstances. AYRT is either advancing those views or being kinda willfully ignorant about it.
