I have to depressingly agree.I am of the opinion that we can't have the changes necessary to improve society until an earth-wide catastrophe takes place. [...] It seems that humanity, as a majority, is still unwilling to accept each other as equals.
I think you are both excessively optimistic. It's pretty rare that catastrophe results in a better society (you specify earth-wide but if you look at history earth wide didn't have to be all that big to be everything a society knew). Sure now and then things go a bit better after something terrible (WWII, The fall of the Assyrian Empire) but for the most part it's just despots and starvation.
