What are the "the necessary steps to live together?" (I'm not picking on you)

I agree w/ *~$kAnDaLouZ~* here as covering your face on an ID card would defeat it's purpose, though what someone wears has nothing to do w/ thier ability to perform in the workplace. "Businesslike" has nothing to do with clothing. The culture(s) implimenting these "businesslike" policies in the workplace are geared toward assimilation (a.k.a. racial discrimination) of anything outside the "societal norm." "Race is social construct. In other words, scientists have discovered that only 2% our genes make-up the visible differences like skin color."

yeah, no ones perfect. But many people overtly don't want to be "perfect" or fair, or unbiased, or equal, or civil, or anything of the "ideal" humane nature. Discrimination based on dress is intentionally malicious. It's ethnocentric and should be exposed as such.

I don't have any well-rounded answers so I'm gonna just point the blame on the frustration of meaninglessness & alienation in peoples lives that have led to these riots(and prolly the majority of most "social unrest.")
