Further look into the life of a Changeling-The Pieces Lie Were They Fell · 2:49am Jan 17th, 2017
First off, thank you Anone Mouse Jr my editor and to quote from him Space Battles
Yeah, that seems to be pretty much the idea...
But I repeat: it will get better. There are plans in motion that will see a major turnaround for Changelings as a species before this is over.
Besides, their rights may be effectively nonexistent at this point (at least, outside the Lower Ring, where the law is less enforced and Changelings have a bit more legal room)... but they're still allowed to live in Equestria, and they do have some rights.
For instance, while they can be charged for any crime they're involved in, they can't just be dragged into court for no real reason - the courts don't like having their time wasted on false charges. And there are the few legal and medical departments that help and look the other way.
There's also the fact that they haven't been locked up in concentration camps, and they aren't being hunted to extermination. And the biggest point of all? They're referred to as "The fourth tribe". Equestria still considers them to be ponies, just... very downtrodden ones.
And the whole reason they're still in Equestria... is because there was a war between Equestria and Changelings after the destruction of Canterlot Castle and the deaths of those within. When it was over and the Changelings defeated, King Blueblood the First ordered that they be brought back to Equestria as unlanded residents, in order to protect them. He wanted to give their species a chance at redemption, not just wipe them out like some might have.
