 * Is it __ever__ justifiable to __treat__ people differently based on race, religion, gender, handicaps, etc.?**

Most people would say no, but I'm going to say yes. You have to respect other people's race, religion, gender, handicaps, etc. and be tactful about it. For example, if I had a habit of saying the N word, and I was around an African American, I would be specially careful to not say that word and possibly anger him.

The special treatment is not to hurt someone different from me, but to be respectful. For example, I wouldn't ask a blind person to go watch a movie with me, or someone deaf to listen music. So in these cases, you're treating someone differently, not because you want to hurt them, but out of respect.
