...because any kind of focus on any kind of difference is bad...
I know where you are aiming at (and agree with that), but that's nonetheless a very worrying thing to say, as ignorance is always the beginning of the end. ACCEPTING and UNDERSTANDING the existance of differences is the key, as they can enrich each other..
Oh ! Yes, indeed. Somehow I think that accepting, however, is kind of the opposite of focusing :p As in, focusing on differences is giving the wrong kind of attention to them ( too good OR too bad ). Accepting and understanding sounds more neutral, you know? Like differences are okay.
This is purely semantics though =)
Nice thread, by the way, and I'm not being ironic. Some conversations are worth the invested time.
