this kind of terminology is what turns people off from the growing anti-vaxx movement.

I don't think it does. It creates sore feelings yes, but the picture it's painting and the awareness it's creating is useful. 'Pureblood' is a valuable concept even if it offends people. Anger, bitterness, jealousy and offense are acceptable outcomes - ignorance and complacency are the true enemies, and that's what we need to fight.

If they are angry at us but aware of the truth, that's a better outcome than letting them sink into denial.

It's human nature to seek the comfortable path, and that's what this is. They want to pretend this didn't happen. But if they do that nothing will change. The sad truth is, if we were faced with a similar scenario tomorrow, many of these people would make the exact same mistakes all over again.

They need to get angry for what was done to them, not be protected from the reality of it.
