So long as our behavior and actions are from a place of peace and general acceptance of those who may be different, we need not change who we are or our social behaviors.  Social mistakes happen but when they happen, all the other person need do is to explain.  We then respect that other person's (or persons')form of interaction.  That change, however, is for that one (or more) individual, it is not for our entire social circle.  Why do we so frequently seem to assume that when someone with different customs/beliefs enters our circle that our own customs/beliefs are so fragile that they will perish.  Differences have always co-existed, quite well,thank you.  Please acknowledge this and allow diversity to flourish and continue on our island.
