Different excuses, same core reason. And like you said, it's fear. Fear of something different, fear of change, fear of moving forward and clinging tightly to the past because of it. It doesn't really matter why, what matters is that it's something we can collectively take a stance against right now and ensure that every human being in our collective knows we respect them. It goes a bit beyond this one point, but we deal with what's in front of us first and then handle the rest.
