"Breaking stigmas" shouldn't be confused with normalizing. Many mental health conditions should be dealt with, if possible, in a way that enables people to be productive citizens. Delusional behaviors should not be indulged as 'alternative choices' and certainly shouldn't mean that others should placate their delusions. Our society needs to, even if it be a gradual process, get away from skin color distinctions. There is 1 race–the human race. Call me 'racist'–that tactic doesn't phase me one bit. My expectations/treatment is the same–kindness and candor.
