I feel obligated to reply after reading your conclusion.  I felt that it 
was virtually flawless, save for the climax.  Repeating the events 
several times made the climax drag on for what seemed, at least to me, 
several times longer than it should have.  The event happened in an 
instant.  The length of the climax should reflect the speed of the 
event.  If you want to tell the story through several views, maybe have 
the characters tell it after the fact.  Beyond that, I felt that the 
entire story was well handled, and the reverse discrimination blurb at 
the end is something that everyone should read and give serious thought 
to.  Aufwiederlesen
