A bit like once when some people I knew were laughing at a woman in the street because she was bald. They thought it was just her choice of hairstyle and that she looked "weird", but I actually wondered if she might be a cancer survivor and lost her hair through having treatment. You don't know.
When I was a not-so-little boy, an author could get away with writing, in a book meant for kids and as a first-person child narrator, that "there was something indecent about a bald woman", and not only not be censored, but have schools require their students to read it. I'm pretty sure many people on these forums have read that book.
Political incorrectness is awesome, isn't it?
