Acceptance is Unlikely

Teaching children acceptance isn’t difficult, it’s teaching the adults who most influence those children that’s the trick. Over time minorities have gained more widespread acceptance, however there are still people in positions of power who are unwilling to accept the differences that other cultures employ. The people who already hold positions of power have nothing to gain by learning acceptance, but the minorities living in conditions that aren’t optimal have great motivation to learn the language of power.
While it would be wonderful if all people were willing to accept one another’s differences, it’s unlikely that we will see such a day, however by following Lisa Delpit’s advice it’s possible that the differences will diminish.
