Hatred or violence used to drive out anyone different than you is still in our DNA and was a survival defense in the early existence of mankind. Survival of the fittest comes to mind. Modern man as evolved to accept and even embrace a change in that primitive mentality in an attempt to share this wonderful planet with everyone. Thankfully we have moved beyond some horrible words used to refer to others and now have these two examples:

R----d is now Mentally Challenged
Q---r is now Gay or Lesbian

Can you see the difference? You would be surprised how easy and liberating it can be to accept everyone for their differences rather than trying to drive them out of your cave.
