"japanese are probably very racist, but it bothers no-one because they live in their own homogenous nation. jews are trying to preserve a majority jewish state in order to prevent internal racial power-jockying (see YNET: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3205861,00.html). these are sensible solutions and should be followed in the US instead of increasing "diversity"."
That has got to be one of the stupidest comments I've ever read on FR. Are you suggesting we divide the U.S. into different ethnic regions, or expel those who don't belong to a certain group?
Or are you suggesting we need more culture homogeneity in the U.S. (i.e. we are all Americans, not hypenated Americans)? If so, I agree with that. You should note however that your comment comes off as rather racist taken at face value.
I get pretty PO'd when I read articles like this.
Certainly racism is to be condemned.
But it is a fact that in just about every culture and society in the world, people who are perceived as outsiders tend to be discriminated against and not trusted.
We are talking human nature here.
So any articles or opinions that suggest this is a problem that is "uniquely American" are totally out of whack, truth be told, we are some of the most tolerant in the world.
I'm talking about cultural homogeneity.
