Identity

People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups. We can love what we are, without hating what - and who - we are not. We can thrive in our own traditions, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings.

This man really needs to come to BYU-Hawaii and see many cultures and ethnicities living side by side. It's amazing. And I agree with his sentiment. People should and can live together in harmony if they wanted to.
