Historically, we know that there was much persecution among non-magicals based on race…isn’t this almost the same thing? When they were forced to recognize those difference and live among each other, sure, there were a lot of riots and fights, but things did get better.”
She paused for a moment to collect herself.
“People have been saying lately that in a perfect world we could coincide. But, the reality is, there will never be a perfect world. Do we really have to hide forever?”
Selina listened to Kurumi's point with great interest. She did have something in her comment, but it was too idealistic her approach to this issue. Sometimes the world was not perfect as she had wanted it to be; Selina even wanted the world to be harmonious, but reality did not warrant it.
"Kurumi, the point isn't that we are somewhat, in your opinion, prisoners. The problem lies in what you said about riots and such. Yes, things will get better. But at what cost? I mean you have to weigh the fact that things getting better could be the extinction of the Wizarding World. In theory we would no longer have riots. People are understanding Kurumi, but if history has shown anything you only need one lunatic to kill thousands.
"I want as much as the next person for the Magical World to be out in the open. The problem is there is so much danger in it. I would like to say that the world could bve harmous, but that is niave. We would sacrifice thousands.
"So rushing into this decision is not a good thing. The two worlds would need to slowly introduce one another to the concept. Even then we all know people will die. Nothing can stop that. When people are different from what is concieved as normal people react poorly. And I am not just commenting on muggles. Wizards are guilty of prejudice as well. Something bad will happen. This debate is irrelevant to now because it could only really occur if the government was behind it. Even then... it would be a blood bath."
