Siri handles privilege discussions better than most humans.

I’m just going to say that Robots don’t have privilege and Humans are the oppressor class.

There’s no such thing as robot privilege! Humans are privileged! Check your reverse-humanism!

Well, uh, I’m a cyborg with human-passing privilege, and this conversation is about to get really awkward.

Humans the oppressor class? You really think so?

In reality, we’ve already had at least one incident that could be called an anti-cyborg hate crime. It might seem silly or over-stating things, but these kinds of incidents are going to increase as time goes on. There will be more people with wearable electronics and implants, whether for disability or convenience. Backlash (some serious and some tongue-in-cheek) has started against Google Glass, which hasn’t even hit the market yet. Some argue that we’re already in the cyborg age. It’s just becoming more and more obvious.
