No, we're not the same. We are all different and that's the reason the World is so beautiful. But besides the differences no one should ever behave disrespectfully to another person. And, as You've written, it's sad that it's not clear to everybody.

Sometimes I laugh that I'm the most discriminated person in the "first world": white, male, heterosexual, baptisted, married, have children, and a smoker :-)
