I think it's a myth to not realize that the effects of rampant, overt, covert, and systemic marginalization does not have lasting consequences and ramifications that effect generations of people.

I think it's a myth to think that we don't ALL have certain prejudices and biases based on personal identity, life experiences, etc. and that those things will not be factors in a number of decisions that we make.

I DON'T think it's a myth that one day society will move to the point where the masses and vast majority of people who make decisions and set policy do so in a way that creates an environment that is conducive to a relatively level playing field for all.

But I do think it's a myth to think that we are there yet or that we can get there without many of the considerations being mentioned in this thread.
