"It's just that things are different, you knoww, wwhen an oppressor is ovverthrowwn, compared to things just bein' the wway they'vve alwways been. An' also because wwe are practically a different species in the wway wwe look, it makes it easier for prejudice to continue."
He squirmed a bit. "But it's not precisely your fault that you didn't knoww, so you're forgivven, officially."
As for the ring, that was not really open for comment. He should throw the damn thing off the tower, just out of principle... but then probably Sollux would actually dump him, so maybe not.
