'Ethnicity is a crock It's another form of club based upon genetic expression.'

But that's never enough. It is necessary to use other mechanisms to solidify the concept 'us vs them'.

It is necessary to display the outsiders and bad, less intelligent, and having attitudes and behaviour that the particular group abhors. Hence the need to throw muck at the outsiders to help solidify the concept 'we'.

This ethnicyt thing was much easier to establish when people were led to believe in stereotypes. For instancejust to show two diametrically opposed stereotypes:

There was a time when people believed that:

we loved soccer, like to stay under a tree on the beach and loved samba.

Germans were rigid. Hard working. Respected law and order. Were ponctual.

Now with much more information going faster around and cheaper flights is hard to solidify these stereotypes and create a concept of 'we vs them'.

The truth come out.

The US has always been a case apart because it has Hollywood and that's hard to beat.
