I think everyone discriminates, even lefties who say they don't - I just

Of course. It is deeply imbedded in our genes as a survival
mechanism. To deny that, is to deny the origins and history of
mankind. The challenge is to transcend gut level instinct and not
discriminate when it is inappropriate.

A more subtle issue is whether or not cultural discrimination is
appropriate as opposed to racial discrimination. It is very difficult
to advance your own cultural beliefs, particularly with your children,
without downplaying others.
