Americans are often proud that they discount the significance of cultural differences: ‘We are all individuals,’ many people boast. Ignoring such issues as gender and ethnicity becomes a source of pride: ‘I treat everyone the same.” But treating people the same is not equal treatment if they are not the same.” – Deborah Tannen 

I found this super insightful. I also think it adds some perspective to use for those who don’t understand why “all lives matter” doesn’t make sense as a counter to “black lives matter.”
