Characteristics of individuals can be found in groups as well. Nature is scalable. And the way you deal with it in individuals is the way you deal with it with groups.
One of my professors in grad school years ago had a saying. "The problem of cultural differences is a matter of degree, not kind."
Like millions of others, I am vehemently opposed to multiculturalism. One of the problems facing the United States and Western Civilization is that Whites are forced to embrace multiculturalism and diversity, yet no Black or Brown nations on Earth are. In Asia, do the Japanese, Chinese, or Korean value multiculturalism? Would an African nation elect a White president? Would Mexico elect an Anglo-Saxon to office? The answer to all of these questions is, "Of course not." Why is it that only Western nations are compelled (goaded/shamed/coerced/forced) to embrace multiculturalism and diversity?
Aside from that, no one has ever explained to me how multiculturalism benefits me. The truth is, it only benefits a very select group of Whites at the apex of the success ladder. Those who own large corporations and central banks across the world benefit from the additional commerce of multiculturalism, which is why multiculturalism and diversity exist.
From a practical standpoint, forced desegregation at gunpoint was/is a direct violation of the First Amendment's freedom of association tenets. Besides that, if diversity is so great, why is necessary to enforce it at gunpoint anyway? Wouldn't everyone embrace it naturally? The truth is that it is very unnatural.
In fact, all race-based laws in the United States are completely unconstitutional and unnatural.

And they have some of the exact same characteristics that you would associate with the black culture. I did my best to reject that sense of victimhood. And as a result, I did something with my life. They didn't.
Again, we are talking about a matter of degree, not kind. If we plot out, analyze, and study patterns of behavior across the races and ethnicities, a Gaussian distribution (bell curve) fitted to the data indicates that intelligence, behavior, and outcomes are all related and overlap.
Which group as a whole, has the highest intelligence, lowest crime rates, and least problematic social behaviors? Citizens of northeast Asian descent, followed closely by Whites. Mestizos/Latinos/Hispanics lag much further behind, and Blacks are significantly behind the Hispanic group.
Of course, there are many exceptions. Some Blacks make better citizens than some Asians, for example, but overall, Blacks and Asians hurt the overall results of the United States. That is why Africa and Mexico are very undesirable places to live. What sane White person would want to live in Mexico or Africa? If the answer is "no one would," then why not? The answer is obvious.

Yes, of course it is wrong to judge a whole race, but doesn't affirmative action and all race-based laws do just that, and punish most Whites as a result?
Let me ask you, in knowing what you know about Mexico and Africa, for example, would you want to live in either place? After all, it is wrong to judge a whole race/ethnicity, right? Yet we do exactly that by choosing not to live in places where low-quality people greatly outnumber high-quality people. It is simply too dangerous and the conditions in such places would be unacceptable to us.
Moreover, back in the United States, how are we to know which Black dentist, for example, is a highly-skilled, high-quality dentist, and not merely another affirmative action hire?
Yes, there are plenty of low-quality White and Asian dentists, but if you had to blindly choose a dentist, which would be the safer bet from a risk management perspective? White or Black? Likewise, if you had a young daughter who was lost and alone in a city at night, would you feel safer knowing that she was in a city that is 95% White or one that is 95% Black? Again, these are risk management problems.
Like millions of others, my position is that multiculturalism is a very undesirable state, and it is quite unconstitutional, according the First Amendment. The higher the proportion of Blacks and Browns in the United States, the less the nation resembles the United States and the more it resembles Africa and Mexico. This is an undisputable fact. I do not know how anyone can honestly reach a different conclusion.
We can argue about who is at fault, but I largely agree with you that Whites are at fault for allowing the undesirable condition to emerge and exist. Blacks and Browns are simply behaving in ways that come naturally to them, but Whites are responsible for tolerating and condoning it.
This unnatural state in the U.S. has been developed and fostered for decades now, and here we are now. Consequently, the United States is a shadow of its former self. Frankly, I do not care if that position is deemed racist or not. It is the undeniable truth.
My recommended solution to resolve these issues, at least in part, is to:
-- Honor the First Amendment, first and foremost.
-- Repeal all race-based laws.
-- End all forms of forced desegregation.
-- Make it illegal for any company or person to punish anyone who wishes to observe his/her First Amendment rights under the Constitution; in particular, the freedom of association.
-- Build more jails, prisons, and execution centers and use them to full capacity until society becomes safe and habitable again. That includes violent perpetrators of ALL races/ethnicities.
From a broader, long-term perspective, balkanization is a real possibility, as it has been countless times throughout history (and by other terms, of course, before the Balkans dissolved).
Bottom line: Recall that many prominent world leaders in recent years have declared that multiculturalism is an abject failure. I completely agree. |
