Elementary school was chalked full of lessons about sharing, and compassion. The concept to treat others the in a way that reciprocates the level of generosity and respect that you would like to receive yourself has been buried underneath specified thoughts and information attained across many years for the purpose of getting what you want (and ignoring everything else).
Living in America is full of contradictory laws and ways of life. A "Christian Nation" that thrives on oil (money) and gossip. Yet, when a highly educated person with tattoos goes into a job interview, their chances of getting the job are smaller than a person without. Does marks on someone's skin automatically make that person less of? The same goes with people who are fat, black, Hispanic, people with bad teeth, hair, clothing. The interviewer looks at the interviewee's appearance rather than their resume.
Deliberately poking fun at people with speech impediments, autism, deafness, etc. is more often a choice of topic, rather than helping these people and learning about them. You will often find that people who are different from each other in drastic ways we can learn a lot from.
If you object; enlighten me, please.
