It's so true that it applies to a lot of a aspects of life. It's something that was really getting under my skin at one point. I posted this in that asksnapzu thread about stereotypes but I think it's applicable here too. I wrote a song about his very thing called "shades of normal". Unfortunately I don't have a recording to share but the lyrics for the chorus and bridge go...

Isn't it great how we're all different
how boring if we were the same
as long as you do all the same things we do
stick to the rules of the game.
Because different is fine if you fit in the norm,
If you don't want to be the same
don't pick a different colour
Just pick a different shade.
