"Choosing not to be a part of something isn’t being excluded." - gosh yes yes yes! Also we've to start asking the question what kind of world we wanna build too isn't it?
Do we want to build a world of starkly contrasted groups who are too brittle with their idealogies?
Or folks from different backgrounds, cultures, races, religions, genders and countries flowing into each other fluidly where not everything matches?

I want the 2nd one:)
Thanks, Shruthi - and ditto!
I'll take the second one all day long.
I think there's a false sense of safety in a world of 'sameness' - but it doesn't take much to realize how narrow and dangerous that can be.
Yes, yes,yes
Thanks, Mark :-)
