Where was such a statement written???
Anyway, I talked about WILLINGLY VISIBLE signs, not physical appearance. Whether people have black or white skin, blond or brown hair, green or blue eyes, etc... is not the question at all. Nobody should care about that, we all said it.
What I meant is: WILLINGLY VISIBLE signs (i.e. that you decide to make visible to fellow crewmembers & pax) of your religion, cultural background or other beliefs are out of place -- even if you are white and catholic for that matter! Get it?
Now, you are very passionate about the issue and obviously this discussion is going to go round and round, so let's leave it at that.
