Of Diabetic Ethiopians and Wheelchair Users: Organizing Society into groups based on health condition

I think the world was a better place when all the nations, creeds, races, and relgions lived separate lives. It seems that in Canada today there is simply too much diversity. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that I feel immigrants, etc. don't belong in Canada. No, no, no. What I'm saying is that I don't believe in the concept of diversity. That we can all just get along. No. It doesn't work. The white man and the Aborginal didn't get along. The French and the English didn't get along. (Alot of them still don't get along. And why? Because there are few commonalities between them. There are few "points of reference" between different groups of people. For example: A new Canadian from Ethiopia drives a taxi cab. He picks up a white, fourth-generation Canadian passenger. They're the same age. Okay, so they have that going for them. Maybe they both have kids and they can talk about that. But what does that Ethiopian man know about hockey? What does that Canadian man know about the swahili language? What does the Ethiopian man know about local property taxes? What does the Canadian know about Ethiopian cuisine?

My point is that we don't all mix. We can't all get along. The reason this is important is because this relates to disease and chronic illness.

I myself suffer from Type 1 diabetes. If I lived in a "city" where everyone was a type 1 diabetic I wouldn't fear going blind, losing my legs, dying young. That would be the norm! It would be like everyday stuff. As it stands now though, living in a world of healthier, non-diabetic people, I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll one day lose my sight, my leg - my independence. If I had people all around me that knew all about my condition because they suffered from it too - everything in that "city" would be organized to work around the disease. There would be more break times at work. There would be juice and cookies stationed throughout the city in little booths for when our sugar goes low and we're out and about. Things like that. Is that not worth something? Forget what I said about the race/creed/religion stuff. I actually know an Ethopian diabetic. How about we divide ourselves health? Wheelchair people all together (everything would be wheelchair accessible), the blind all together (could be challenging), the diabetics together, the MS sufferers together, and so on. Life then in those "cities" would be geared toward whatever was wrong with the populace. As it stands now, any MS sufferer, disabled person, or diabetic feels different, left out, socially outcasted.
