[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5948884, member: 6688791"] Hmm, I guess it could sound this way but that's not how I perceived it when it happened to me (with the cooking and when I got involved in the cat fancy world). If you share a passion and you're a positive person, I think you naturally want as many people as possible to understand it and perhaps, get interested in it (without preaching and becoming annoying). And sometimes, the demographic makes it look like: This activity, or hobby, or pursuit, or career... is the province of <code>[insert a color, gender, sexual orientation combination]</code>. And that's just not true. Some people are just glad when the stereotype barrier is broken, I think. I personally find it inspiring and attractive to see people pursuing dreams goals and passions. And it's even more refreshing when it falls outside of the demographic you expect. And when it's about my passions, I do not like to be part of some hermetic, homogenous club. I welcome diversity :) I live in the here and now and see the two situations in a similar light. I hate discrimination but my radar doesn't go off in either case. It's possible that I'm not aware of the impact of history or something. [/QUOTE]
