::coffee:: Ask yourself something...
If everyone in the world felt as you feel about this topic, would it allow for the evolution of humans or would it stunt our growth and encourage us to stagnate with no hope of progression.
Being negatively affected by a person who you later find out is from a certain social sect/group can have devastating affects on you that you may never get over. This may or may not continue to be that persons challenge/struggle throughout their entire life. Believe me, I know hundreds of people who continue to make an effort to understand the importance of getting past what was done to their family members in the past and they are still unable to successfully.... "get over it" so to speak.
I cannot say that any point that has been brought up here is right or wrong. What I can say is that if you have never been discriminated against because of the way you were born then it would take a very strong, intelligent, and socially sensitive parental unit to raise you with an insight deep enough to understand and accept people no matter how they were born or the choices they have made in their lives.
Not saying that you have to open loving arms to everyone no matter what, but being insightful enough to know that it is our differences that make us human would be all that is needed to propel us further down the road of evolution.
I think the human race has a brighter future ahead once the assimilation of irresponsible prejudices has been eradicated.
