No one's asking or promoting a denial of differences. I'm promoting the idea the advancement of segregation for no real benefit is
harmful to society, helping to keep us away from damaging stereotypes and bigots.
Your post feels like you just wanted to start shit rather than have a discussion, kind of surprising you're a moderator. /shrug. Perhaps I just needed to be clearer, though it's tough with this sensitive of a subject.
