I would suspect that you'll get jumped on rather heavily for not taken into
consideration the millenia and all that.
But I'm fully in agreement with your last statement. I think respect has to be
earned as a human not as some group member. A persons labels should be an
insignificant incidental aspect of his (now I'll get flamed for the male
pronoun) humanity.
