Talk:Earth ponies/@comment-68.6.39.125-20130326182926

It would appear that a lot of people think of Earth ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, etc. as separate races. Perhaps they simply represent different talents? They're all ponies. Take Griffons for example, they're decidedly a different race. But the ponies are all ponies, whether winged or not, horned or not. Therefore there is no caste system here, no racism, simply ponies with different abilities, different talents, just like in the real world.

That's just my take on it. It looks like a lot of people are getting rather unsettled over this apparent racism/cast system that they see. But I would say there's no need for that. It's just the way you look at it.
