here's the thing though. school raze culminates in ponies and non-ponies teaming up to fight a team of a pony and a non-pony. it literally shows that not only do ponies and non-ponies work together just fine, but that good and evil know no race: ponies and non-ponies work together for good, and ponies and non-ponies work together for evil.


 
which, in turn, wraps up twilight and neighsay's conflict. twilight is the voice of optimism and hope while neighsay is the voice of cold pragmatism. twilight believes things could go wrong but probably won't so we should do it, neighsay believes things could go wrong and probably will so they shouldn't do it. thing is, neither of these attitudes are _*wrong_*; the only real wrong thing is neighsay's driven by a racial agenda. the reason he believes things will go wrong is because of the non-ponies. _*that_* is the only thing that is objectively proven wrong on his behalf: everything else he said about the school being a bad idea not only rang true but actually played a role in helping cozy take control. in the end it hits him like a pile of bricks that it really doesn't _*matter_* if someone is a pony or a non-pony because, again, good and evil know no race.


 
that concept gets thrown out if cozy's revealed to be a non-pony. the entire concept goes from "ponies and non-ponies are either good or evil and can coexist just fine and race doesn't matter" to "non-ponies are evil save for some exceptions that are 'shown the way' by the morally superior ponies". that, in turn, basically means neighsay's motivation was completely valid and that twilight was wrong to not listen to him because the school was shown to _*not_* be able to teach all the non-ponies to act like ponies.


 
i honestly hope they don't toss all that out for a twist because, honestly, the whole thing is probably one of the most intelligent and mature takes on the whole "don't judge people by their race" thing.
