There is an idiotic belief that is very popular in these days that "different" means "hostile". There is also a no less idiotic belief which is also very popular now that if we want to live in peace, we should fool ourselves into thinking that we are all the same.
Similarity can be found only in qualities separately considered, and the boundaries we impose to produce such separation are conventional and relative.
Moreover, if there is a qualitative similarity - there is a quantitative difference and vice versa.
And all that means that we are not the same and we'll never be the same. And we don't have to be the same.
