I live in an Indiana city of less than 50K and there are 3 neighborhoods where there are no English speaking businesses. We don't even have a large Hispanic population. That's pretty normal all around the country, especially in real cities. Have you never heard of Korea/China Towns, or Little Italy districts, Lager?

That comparison doesn't make much sense. Italians and Hispanics are white Christian Europeans. That's not really multi-culturalism, they're ultimately part of the same culture and share the same values even if they speak a different language or have slightly darker skin. That's something we're quite used to in Europe, with dozens of countries and languages and free movement. We also have districts and towns full of Romanians and Poles in Germany, but again: White Christian Europeans. And funnily enough, in most cases, you can only tell by the names, because they mostly grew up and went to school here and speak German, in most cases exclusively. Asians on the other hand are from a different cultural sphere, but they're usually secular, share many of our values and are quite compatible and willing to integrate. Nobody minds those, either. We have quite a few Asian (mostly Vietnamese) neighborhoods and businesses in Eastern Germany and they cause no issues.

Things only become problematic when you have large groups of people from a completely different culture with different values who don't want to play by your rules, let alone integrate.

Hispanic doesn't mean white, it's an ethnic label not a racial one. Of course all these categories are arbitrary (see the U.S. census treating Arabs and Iranians as white).

You can't compare the immigration born from colonization period to today. You had two factors: Forced religious conversion or "bring yo dirty ass laundry, we no better".

The forced part is familiar to people, but the second part is kind of overlooked lately.

If you had backward beliefs and racism in the late 1800s early 1900s, then you were just one more of that type in your new country. Your old world problems weren't completely incompatible with the society at large. However, the western world went through major cultural changes and you can no longer drag in old world culture into it anymore without major issues. Muslim countries are far too old world to fit in without adopting their new home's culture.

Instead of realizing this, people instead revert into the donkeybrained idea that observing this is some form of secret racism. They see the actual distance between recent cultural progress and places without said progress or places where that progress had been severely reverted, and instead of realizing their problem comes from attaining progress, they slip into cultural regression of the past to try to extol their progressive virtues of today.

The criticisms of multiculturalism come exactly from this, as do some of the anti-globalization sentiments. The world isn't on the same level. When different peoples interact, cultures must mix and adapt. If one culture does not adapt then it cannot coexist. The only people who avoid understanding this are those who do not have to deal with the problem at all, who act high and mighty while a mile away from the problem.

"No multiculturalism because they are white christian Europeans".

Hahaha... Dude... European history was not as simple as that. Also, free movement some centuries before was not exactly as you are currently experiencing.

I think I know my stuff when it comes to European history. Also, when I say "cultures", I'm referring to cultural spheres.

The left's former love with WikiLeaks and wanting special* treatment for manning because she is trans, with the current hysteria over WikiLeaks is too much.

Never understood why she was a media darling other than being trans. What she did wasn't for the greater good. People deal with all sorts of harsh realities in prison, but shouldn't that be the job to improve the prison system and not just let all the prisoners go? Why does she get off when other people still have to be in solitary?
How does DemoGAF square this circle? Let's watch.

I remember they got into a big argument over some piece of junk that "Sully" thought was still profitable and Mays was like "but nobody would ever need it!!!!"

Suicide Squad is supposed to be a fun little side project in the vain of Marvel movies. it's not meant to be taken seriously. you watch it once, laugh a few times and forget about it. the theater i was in loved it. and i gotta admit it was infectious and i loved it too. i noticed a lot of problems on my second viewing but it did what it set out to do. Make a funny, action packed blockbuster and they succeeded.

What ended up happening is that all the critics and fans decided to treat this like a fucking oscar contender and absolutely ravaged it. we care about editing and narrative flow in our comic book movies now? we care about villains in our movies now? where was this outrage where iron man 2 and thor 2 ended up in the 70s on rotten tomatoes? even Star Wars Episode 3 is in the 70s. and that movie is fucking trash.

there is this double standard that seems to be hitting DC movies. it started with Man of Steel which was a perfectly fine comic book movie. it sat at a 56% of rotten tomatoes and the internet was brutal with its memes and treating it like a piece of shit movie while completely ignoring problems with how formulaic and forgettable marvel movies had become. i didnt care because i still had a few laughs and liked the visuals in marvel movies, but now i am like why am i giving these movies a break when others arent willing to do with D.C movies?

In no universe, do BvS and SS belong in the 20s. I dont care how rottentomatoes measures their reviews but that is simply absurd. i refuse to believe that over 70% of the critics thought they were rotten and over 70% of the same critics thought IM2,IM3, Thor 2 were fresh.

I think I know my stuff when it comes to European history. Also, when I say "cultures", I'm referring to cultural spheres.

Just saying, because is not exactly secret why Italians or Hispanics (I suppose you are using it as direct link to Spain) were in conflict with other parts of Europe to the point it even was felt back to the American continent. Sorry if I'm rude, specially since is your continent, but people got screwed even when they were white Christians dudes.

Edit: also, to be clear, when I'm referring about "white Christians" getting screwed, is by another "white Christians".

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter, though fair to the "traitor" part, she was probably suffering from gender dysphoria at the time, and she actually decided to face the music, unlike Snowden (who, in an alternate universe, would have been announced for a commutation alongside her today).
uh...she didn't exactly do this, she was on active duty in Kuwait and got turned in by someone she trusted

Snowden also is a civilian...kinda important fact. The UMCJ actually protected Manning in a way

Muslim countries are far too old world to fit in without adopting their new home's culture.

The flaw in this logic is that most muslim countries(ones that aren't war torn, at least) aren't as stereotypically extremist as you think. I keep seeing people here say "so many neighborhoods full of dudes with no women in sight" when that isn't even true in the shithole that is Saudi Arabia. Hell, Syria recently went to shit, so did Egypt(not as much as Syria) but claiming either country before forced women in burkas and kept them inside is laughable even if you go back further in decades. Saudi is objectively worse when it comes to that and even then, evolved a bit in the past few years where many don't even cover their face or hair anymore. There's plenty of Saudi immigrants, or Visa students and workers who assimilated to outside culture pretty much right away.

So yeah, I do point at racism when I hear this. Because most of what I hear comes from a place that doesn't have much if any knowledge about the Middle Eastern world. I'm not surprised that extremists have spread into European and North American countries, hell religious crazies of the Christian sort have and still exist there in greater numbers, but pointing at all immigrants or using the crazies to as an excuse to shut off any immigrants from these countries coming in is suspect. Especially from people who argue for free speech when SJWs bitch about white supremacists.

Your problem is that you take criticisms of issues in a region and a religion to be rejection of all people from that area and religion, thus you can point out some counter examples and claim it's racism. That's bullshit and you know it.

You're from Saudi and I'm not. K. How about an end the guardianship systems in Saudi? How about comparing that to the western world*. That a huge gap. It's not racism. That's a major difference that reflects other ideas in that culture.

See, I don't agree with banning all immigration, but I don't know how many really do. The point has been that the system in place is too open and causing a problem. Assimilation into the new country is a problem. (Which is, again, one of the criticisms of multi-multiculturalism: that it doesn't encourage or value assimilation as well and at times vilifies** it.)

Racism as an accusation serves no use or purpose in the discussion. Observe the problem, understand the problem and fix the problem. When someone says the problem is the damn sand people then it's racism. When someone says the problem is cultural clash and immigration policies.. it's not racism and something that can be addressed.

*To be fair to you, as far as I know, your time with and views of the Western world are heavily spent in Saudi and American college campuses, so your idea of the west is going to be shit-tier, easily manipulated and out of touch.

** Some of the 'progressive' left hate Asians for assimilating well. A weird practice where you critique and ethnicity for progressing when others haven't in the name of what you call progressive politics. Yeesh.

This and all its variations in this thread (and similar threads, like the US (merely) abstaining on an UN measure against expansionist Israel for the first time) - completely bewildering.

I have to imagine if a couple years ago Obama had your dog shot, for important national security reasons of course, but then just this week he sent you a letter saying "hey bro, sorry about the dog", you would be in tears, exclaiming "That's my president!

There IS NO burden on the oppressed minority to re-wire the brains of the bigoted. Minorities can engage with them if they see fit, but to say or even suggest that they have an obligation to do so is purposefully set them up for failure, because culture doesn't change in a short period of time and done by individuals. The scale of this change is much, much larger and spans several generations. It's unreasonable to expect minorities to move en-masse into these smaller communities and "respectfully engage" with bigots for the rest of their lives in an attempt to change their minds. Even if we do take the psychological study findings at face value, the studies themselves are not prescribing anything. They're not saying "minorities OUGHT to do this and this and this if they want their situations to improve!" All they refer to is how the culture from bigoted people can be changed IN THEORY. In theory, changing their environment and continuing to engage with the minorities they hate is correlated with a more general acceptance. But extrapolating it to the real world and scolding minorities for NOT doing this is putting an unreasonable burden on minorities and is without a doubt an unfair expectation.

"Engage in a respectful manner toward people who, at best, give no importance to your identity and at worst are openly disdainful of it" is a pretty shitty thing to say. Not only is it sending minorities out on the dumbest goose chase in history, it's also operating under the assumption that if they DON'T do it they only have themselves to blame for the results, which again is incredibly unfair and only blames the victim.
I thought the "oppressed minorities" were the majority though (popular vote!) and aren't these people certainly minorities of a different set of variables? And shouldn't the idea be to sympathize as victims of Trump, not...fight for who gets to be the main victim? And...

They seem to be under the impression that all minorities are the same and don't have competing interests, are the only people who voted for Hillary (which means they're a plurality! POPULAR VOTE!) and everyone who voted for Trump did so to stick it to minorities (or the pluralities?) so can't be oppressed?

It's just so confusing and exhausting to have to decide how or whether someone fits the ideal political profile before considering their statements. I hate how Gamergate has torn this country apart.

So if the current system of checks and balances completely fails to protect us from an event like Donald Trump and a systematic attack of rights by the GOP, how do I not become disenfranchised with our government and political system entirely?

Genuinely asking because the fact that this election has set us back from major progress probably for at least the next decade or two of my life has me kind of depressed that there's nothing we can do about it. Like if Trump can get a majority conservative supreme court how do I not just throw my hands up in the air and give up when there's nothing we can do about that until they die off?

The conflation and hypocrisy that always happens in these threads is by now about as predictable as Trump saying something about Russia once a week that makes you wonder if he might keep several shirtless pictures of Putin next to his tacky gold-plated nightstand.

Anytime someone tries to move beyond the reactionary hate posts that litter the first several pages and tries to discuss well-intentioned proactive solutions to inter-personal racism, you get two reactions, every time:

1.)  Re-directing anger at the poster trying to be proactive, mischaracterizing a broad perscriptive opinion as either excusing racism or demanding minorities educate them and then framing said person as a hostile to minorities.

2.) Tone-deaf hypocrisy that attacks Trumpkins/racists by taking a  :snob position that nothing is stopping them from educating themselves. Their ignorance is not an excuse. Their stereotypes are harmful and inaccurate, and they have a dangerous aversion to facts and critical thinking....

...All while they decry any suggestion that isn't one that allows them their preferred self-serving method of shame, angry vitriol and retaliatory acts/wishes. A method they refuse to qualify its efficacy when asked, shut down any attempt to discuss their tactics value/harm and do so while simultaneously high-fiving each other for posters that make derogatory quips based on stereotypes or cheap shots at rural people.

I wonder where this will go  :huh

If I had to guess: Nowhere.


EDIT: Just like this thread, based on yet another poorly researched editorial piece by RPS: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1335158

Either way, another reason I really like EVE: Slaves or not, humans are all equally worthless pieces of garbage you carry around in your cargo hold until you jettison them to make room for more lucrative stuff - like salvage. Unless they're exotic dancers. Those fetch a nice price in Jita, as some players collect them or use them to build little dioramas in their cargo hold to create funny lossmails.

Vote, listen, support, call out racism when you see it, stand up to fellow white folk when they start talking down BLM or start playing both sides or downplaying police brutality ... in short be an ally.
That's all? Wow, this ending racism thing is easier than I thought.

So this is how white people will fall. Most minorities have been through the worst since birth; most white people not so much. Now that fragile white people are going for a scorched earth policy, they won't have any previous life experience to combat the damage that's about to be inflicted on them.

It won't shock me if the white life expectancy plummets the next few years.

I have no idea what's going on in that thread anymore.

Not only would this piss off Trump by making him the 46th as opposed to 45th, it would let us have President Biden even for a short bit.

Wait wait wait, I just realized. If Obama does comment on the investigation, could he make an executive order to delay it until the investigation is over, and resign with the condition Ryan becomes the Vp? It's crazy I know.
oh boy'

I'm about to dream some crazy stuff
make this happen please

It's projection. It's ALWAYS projection. Why do you think so many right wing nutjobs have little anime girl avatars?

Isn't applying projection to everything, projection in itself ?

He may actually end up being more like a Nixon (...) who won an election against a really really unpopular candidate/party but they were never able to survive until the next election even though nixon stayed as the president for like 5 years

Passed a polygraph why golly! Not just anyone can do that!

Nixon's party was so unable to survive that his re-election was a 49 state landslide and within one term of not only his VP but himself resigning his party won back the Presidency and also picked up the Senate for the first time in a generation and then dropped another 49 state landslide. It also ended his party's 36 year losing streak when it didn't have Ike on the ticket.

The historian in me wants that silly Biden thing so we can all agree that Trump is the 45th person to be President and that as great as he was we don't need to count Grover Cleveland twice.
