for me that's like having international womans day or Gay Pride etc
As I see it If you continue to have some sort of event, society, national day to highlight or promote your race, gender, orientation etc it only helps keep whatever barriers/ prejudices etc that stop you from seeing yourself and other people seeing you as an equal member of society.
The fucking media really doesnt help either.
Rose tinted view of how the world works I know but I would be interested to see what would happen if they stopped doing such things. Would it come to pass that after several years the world would be like this fry & Laurie sketch?
