Problem is Jason, this is something we have always had.

It is our whole pack instinct thing. We do not mind SMALL differences, but something too different (or worse yet, unfamiliar) will raise the hackles on the back of our social backs and cause us to lash out.

Everything from race, religion, or governmental policy!

So saying we need everyone to be accepting of everyone else is a nice thought, but I don't think that will be achievable simply by enforcing any social doctrine. I am afraid that this might require biological evolution (to put it nicely).

We do not need the Alpha Male anymore. We still seek them, hire them, promote them and elect them though.

Thank god we stopped humping legs.

Well, most of us did anyway.....
