	Not sad that they're more tolerant of others, but sad that they have
different standards.

	If it's just for visitors, that's understandable. But I regularly see
tolerance of those living in the place for over a decade. I don't buy
the argument that they're outsiders and should be treated differently if
they've been there that long.
