Lizzie,

We often discuss inter culture diversity on this thread.

It is important to recognize intra culture diversity too.

I too recognize people for who they are and do not discriminate on grounds of race, culture, class, sex or sexuality.

However, to deny that there are different races, cultures, classes, sexes or sexualities or to impose taboos on referring to them or celebrating their individuality within the whole would be as unfair as ... well ... saying that one shouldn't celebrate ones englishness.

Whaddaya say?

Segregation is when people wish to be seperated from groups that they find incompatible with themselves for whatever reason.

Yes People are people - not a race.

But different races are clearly recognizable.

People are people - not a sex

But (in general) peoples sex is recognizable.

etc etc

and good because we live in a diverse society.

There are many different sub cultures within British culture all of which are valid and that includes observable recognizable class distinctions.

Its not an opinion, its an observation.
