Amanda (when talking to Wayne in the bathroom):
"I really believe - just take people as they are. Take the bloody labels off!" Love it. This is the whole point of equality, in a nutshell: To see people as the individuals we all are. Because as individuals - we stand as equals. We are all a minority of one: Equally as important, equally as unique as the next. Doesn't matter what your race/gender/religion/sexual preference is - we are all an one off. As long as we keep segregating ourselves off into different 'communities', then we deny our individuality, we reduce ourselves down to faceless cogs in the wheel of the chosen 'group'. Splitting people up into groups like this does not create equality. Quite the opposite. It's more like tribal warfare. My gay/straight/black/white friends and family members are all part of the same community, OUR community. Why would we want to separate ourselves off into 'different communities'?? What would that achieve exactly? This is the problem with labelling people. It's the same way racism works: label people according to their superficial 'type' and then separate and judge them for it, ordering them into some kind of 'social rating system' : "This group are all like this. While this other group are all like that!" It's stereotypical to do this! Individuals matter. Groups are vague, generalised concepts: 'groups' don't have feelings. Individuals have feelings. Amanda is right: take people as they are (individually) and take the labels off. |
