When I eat M+M's, I arrange them according to their colors.
I line them up in columns starting with the color I only have one of, then the color I have two of, and so on.
Today I had two orange ones, and two yellow ones. I tried to decide which color to place first, but I couldn't decide which one I preferred.
I brought my head down so that my eyes were level with the table. Upon closer inspection, I could see that one of the yellow M+M's was slightly misshapen.
Disgusted - but also perversely delighted, as this solved my dilemma for me - I ate it.
Now, my M+M graph was perfect, I thought. But even as I looked at the little colored circles I felt a pang of regret for what I'd done.
This was discrimination and segregation at it's worse.
Shaking my head sadly, I carefully gathered all of my little chocolate friends together in my left hand.
I ate them all in one mouthful.
