"I think it's really important to be friends with people who disagree with you. For one thing, that's how minds change. Years ago, I used to be Islamophobic. It wasn't because I was a bad person, I just didn't have any Muslim friends, so naturally I believed what I had been told. Once I got to know actual Muslims (and they fed me biryani) my mind changed. If those people had said "I'm not going to be friends with anyone who disagrees with me," I would still be an asshole. And worst of all, I never would have had biryani."
