In short, the OP’s solution to those who judge others due to being prejudiced, arbitrary, idiotic, and just plain shallow is to knuckle under and cater to them.

Sorry, but that’s not only the behavior of a doormat conformist…but also deeply un-American…especially considering if that mentality prevailed with most…we wouldn’t have had movements like anti-slavery abolitionism in the antebellum, women’s suffrage/rights, Civil Rights to fulfill promises undermined by insidious Jim Crow laws/mentality/continuing prejudice…some of which continued into the '90s where I attended undergrad and in many other areas of the US to the present judging by news/events, etc.

In fact…we’d still be living in the early-mid 19th century…or if you want to go all the way back…still under the thumb of toffee-nosed British aristocrats maintaining much more rigid class/ancien-regime sensibilities regarding social-class status.

I don’t know about you…but such aristocrats…or the busybodyish upper/upper-middle class types who insist on the status quo are the very types who obstruct…rather than facilitate the very innovation/changes necessary for a healthy society to evolve and thrive.
