Nice point, but Arabs in the Arabian peninsula are the purest stuff around and they can’t get along with one another!
Furthermore, the Japanese were just as homogeneous in the years preceding WW2, but it didn’t make them very prosperous, peaceful, or civilized.
Disagree. At the very least, I personally have no preference for those of my own "kind", disproving your point.
Look at Japan...one of the most prosperous,peaceful,civilized...and homogeneous...nations on earth.And that last adjective goes a long way toward explaining the others.
As another post pointed out, Japan was every bit as homogeneous in the 1930s & 1940s. How peaceful and civilized were they then?
Yes, and we are hard-wired that way for a reason. Those who did not avoid/fear members of other tribes did not survive in a hard world. The libs love Darwinism, but ignore the fact that human racism is an evolved defensive characteristic through survival of the fittest.
First, what is racism? If it is thinking bad things about other races then that will never end, and as long as it isn’t acted upon, it’s not a problem government can fix. If racism is burning down a house or hanging someone, that is dealt with by existing law.
Disliking people of a different race may be a character flaw, but that is for the individual, the family, and religion to handle. If people think passing a bunch of laws is going to make people love each other, they have fallen for the liberal’s fantasy that education will create the perfect man. It’s never going to happen. I’m tired of hearing about it. Let the law protect us from attacks based on racism or anything else, and let people deal with their personal issues in their own way.
I agree with Walter Williams that there shouldn’t be any anti-discrimination laws for individuals and private groups or businesses. If a business has a big old sign that says “No Italians allowed”, then it will lose a lot of business and many others will gladly accept an Italian’s money. Once anti-discrimination laws were passed that forced businesses and groups to accept people based on race, that opened a Pandora’s box and gave us what we have today which is homosexuals forcing people to provide flowers for their weddings, laws forcing people who object to fornication to accept co-habiting couples as renters, forcing single sex schools and groups to end their unique status, creating ambulance chasing lawyers who troll for lawsuits against businesses that are not 100% compliant with the ADA laws, affirmative action programs that hurt everyone and foster racial animosities, and the increase in the number of people who use the race card to shake down businesses and get free stuff.
There is a reason why the founders wanted freedom of association. We see how government can use “fairness” as an excuse for control.
You can put 2 doz white eggs and 2 dozen brown eggs in an incubator and when they hatch the the white and brown chicks will immediately separate into groups of their same color.
It works the same with full grown chickens.
So who are your kind? Do you restrict your tribal choices based on race, or do you consider those of like mind and character to be part of the group you're hard-wired to keep company with?
