I think I understand. Even absent demographic discrimination, however, how much do you think ethnic, gender, etc. background would shape temperament? Even absent overt discrimination, it's pretty clear that men and women are socialized differently, for example.

Oh, I agree that differences of temperament are *good* - but the "more significant" comment above sounded like an objective assertion which contradicts so many people's subjective experience, people without the luxury of "temperament" being the most significant differentiator.

Sorry to be unclear! Certainly in current societies, the effects of demographic pigeonholing may be much larger.
