No, I would never say that the sorts of things that you or Hermione have to bear don't matter, Terry.
What I meant was that I don't see any difference between you and me. You're a Ravenclaw like me, and you're a wizard just as much as me or Justin. I used to be called a Pureblood, you know, and now it suits them to call me a halfblood. But that change isn't based on anything real. It's just an excuse to treat me differently, just as their calling you a muggleborn is nothing more than an excuse to treat you differently. And to take advantage of you.

It is unfair. And unjust. That's the point.
