don't share the path you are taking.
If WE 'can understand the finer point' that being an individual doesn't mean being better than, or less than anyone else, then every one can come to understand that truth. To imply that 'we' get-it, but 'they' don't- is bigotry in and of itself.

We aren't carbon copies of each other- we all have our own unique differences that distinguish us from each other, and unite us in that 'uniqueness'- (I know that silly bumper sticker that says" remember you are unique, just like everyone else" ;-) )

There is also a beautiful saying that says something like "harmony cannot happen when everyone sings the exact same note"-

Being different and distinct is not only ok- its important- valuing people based on their differences or clumping people together and discriminating against a 'group' is what we need to learn to stop doing.
Its not the 'language' it is the mind-set.

But yet again Juniperx I LOVE and agree with your desire to encourage us all to see each other as the individuals we are, without pre-conceived notions, or prejudice.

peace-
