In his autobiography, Mahatma Gandhi wrote that during his student days he read the Gospels seriously and considered converting to Christianity. He believed that in the teachings of Jesus he could find the solution to the caste system that was dividing the people of India. So one Sunday he decided to attend services at a nearby church and talk to the minister about becoming a Christian. When he entered the sanctuary, however, the usher refused to give him a seat and suggested that he go worship with his own people. Gandhi left the church and never returned.
People are different.
We are different in color, race, language, dialect, beliefs, habits and personality. These things along with a zillion other idiosyncrasies make each of us distinct individuals. Too often, it is our uniqueness that separates us. Others often think each person should give up their natural and acquired traits to become one of them. We are expected to camouflage ourselves by changing the way we walk, talk, look or act to blend in.
