If A is equal to B then all of A is equal to all of B.
The 'equal, or the same' argument still stands.
If A is equal to B, all of A must be equal to all of B
but: If all of A is equal to all of B, must all of A be THE SAME as B?
Do you have to treat two people the same to treat them equally? That's my point.
I say no.
In fact, I go so far as to say that if you treat two fundamentally different things the same, you must be treating them unequally.
XD the point of the scenario was to bring it into a different context, outside of social outcasting, etc.

Socially, why do the groups need to treat each other differently, just because they eat differently?
In order to treat them equally.
treat two different people the same, and you are treating one unfairly, treat two social groups the same, and you will be doing the same.

I'm saying specifically, socially, why do people feel the need to treat straights, gays, blacks, whites, hispanics, trans, hipsters, etc... differently, just because they 'identify' as part of a different 'cultural group'?
Because your social identity moulds your reactions and the kind of person you are (or the other way round).

And please don't assume that just because I think something is overly-complicated that I can't understand it, that's a baseless accusation.
You're right.
That was stupid of me,
Sorry.

I'm not talking about "why do we need labels?" I'm talking about not treating someone like garbage or saying that people deserve the death penalty and torture just because they aren't exactly the same as you.
I've never advocated worse treatment.
I've advocated DIFFERENT treatment.
