Thread: a plea — diversity not a good thing!

Time to get over it ... you're not special anymore.

And just what about other ethnicities in your country? Are Pakistanis as sought after as romantic partners?

On race, no problem. - actually on a new Genetics study on Scotland - half of the people asked gave their apparent place of origin as Pakistan.....

You're going to use poor people as a measure of diversity's success? Anyway, your point is moot because the U.S.'s policy of tolerance and diversity has led to its becoming the world's #1 economy, #1 military power, and #1 destination for people seeking a better life. Poverty and crime exist everywhere - purging a place of some ethnic group isn't going to eliminate that.

Germany sprung back surprisingly quickly after the war.

Not the ethnically-pure Nazi Germany. Nice try.

What of the utopias the socialists are always claiming of Sweden and Norway?

I don't know about "utopias," but I'm sure they're wonderful places to live. Just because we embrace diversity doesn't mean we don't think a nation of whites or a nation of blacks can't also be pleasant and successful. But when people are so protective of their racial purity that they use force to exclude or deprecate other races, it's been a pretty consistent failure.

Yeah, and you got to come to grips with the reality that you've never been special, and that decades of receiving special interest entitlements with a willing government and constant race baiting by your titular leaders like jessie jackhole and al sharpless are not going to elevate your also-ran status one iota.

I think ethnic diversity is not a bad thing. Also, cultural diversity is not a bad thing as long as the differences remain trivial. But deep cultural differences to the point of incompatibility can be very destructive for the fabric of society. Civil conflicts are some of the worst.

What are they?

Then they can do what they like. Go make your commune and be an ignorant racist.

Ok. Point out the problem here. I cant see one. Furthermore once you do so you need to show why it is a moral prerogative to minimize this effect.

Just wait 12 more hours. It is early in the morning in the American South. Soon my loyal allies will wake up and log into their computers...

I mean really, race...look at Scotland, very few immigrants, but just look at our ethnic diversity

And I'll tear them a new one as well.
