It is marked not only by lots of festivals, but more importantly, we celebrate the diversity of our San Francisco. Whether it is our San Francisco Food Tour of Chinatown or North Beach\Little Italy, we see that diversity every day. Celebration is much different than tolerating. Tolerance is putting up with something. Celebrating something is enjoying it.
From the perspective of our San Francisco Food Tours, we see many cases across the country and around the world where neither tolerance or celebration of others seems to be growing. And yet, when we look around our own community, the opposite seems to be happening. The question as to why comes to mind. Is it because we see each other every day? Is it because that it makes for an environment that seems more fun and alive? Is it because that if you look at someone that you cannot tell who is a San Franciscan by the way they look?
It could be some of that or it could be all of that or it could it be something else. Either way, it makes for a really enjoyable place to live. As we experience this on a daily basis, we are so used to this that we can’t imagine living any other way. The way that it reflects our food and our lifestyle, it something that none would want to change, even it if we could. It is the difference between experiencing life and enjoying it and just surviving. When someone is not celebrating diversity, they are just surviving. Celebrating diversity is celebrating life.
