Searching for a sci-fi short story I saw here once
Posting for a friend-
About 5 or 6 years ago, I read a short story that someone linked to from metafilter. It was a sci-fi story about this blood protein or virus that existed in a certain percentage of the population, and the racism that accompanied it, once people could reliably test for this item. All the people who possessed it were basically second class citizens, and it was a story that took place over 3 generations. Can someone identify or link to this story again?

Best answer: This might be "Three Hearings on the Existence of Snakes in the Human Bloodstream" by James Alan Gardner.
Which can be seen here for appraisal. I'd agree.

Response by poster: Awesome! Here's an update from the friend who asked me to post this:
"THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been pulling my hair out for years trying to find this thing again. Finally!"
