Explain

2018-10-13 22:45:16 UTC  

I think it's unwise to generalize birth groups. Birth groups show extreme variation

2018-10-13 22:45:25 UTC  

There is variation, always

2018-10-13 22:45:34 UTC  

You're clustering "a group of migrants" and "a native population" together

2018-10-13 22:45:39 UTC  

Extreme variation.

2018-10-13 22:45:54 UTC  

To a degree where it's not really worth making de jure policies on

2018-10-13 22:46:00 UTC  

You're also neglecting the plethora of other factors

2018-10-13 22:46:01 UTC  

Isn't the purpose of a generalization meant to demonstrate what they are like "in general?"

2018-10-13 22:46:08 UTC  

I've never understood the "NOT ALL!" response

2018-10-13 22:46:32 UTC  

In general, most mass shooters are white Americans, for instance.

2018-10-13 22:46:47 UTC  

Would it be reasonable to create policies off of this information?

2018-10-13 22:46:48 UTC  

No.

2018-10-13 22:46:50 UTC  

Do you know why?

2018-10-13 22:47:00 UTC  

Because said group being studied represents the minority of a minority

2018-10-13 22:47:03 UTC  

"To a degree where it's not really worth making de jure policies on"

I mean, if 52% of Hispanic households are on some form of government assistance, I think we can decide to at the very least limit low skilled migration from Hispanic countries"

2018-10-13 22:47:28 UTC  

What would the purpose of limiting migration be?

2018-10-13 22:47:35 UTC  

It'd only cause others to suffer within their native country.

2018-10-13 22:47:52 UTC  

lol do you think they would care about you suffering?

2018-10-13 22:48:14 UTC  

Yes?

2018-10-13 22:48:25 UTC  

I live in a rather multi-ethnic place in America.

2018-10-13 22:48:43 UTC  

Where do you think I live?

2018-10-13 22:48:47 UTC  

I'll avoid the specific city, but I can most certainly say that yes, minority groups and migrants do indeed care about the native population

2018-10-13 22:49:07 UTC  

No clue, really

2018-10-13 22:49:14 UTC  

The continental US, most likely

2018-10-13 22:49:38 UTC  

Where do you live?

2018-10-13 22:49:44 UTC  

Also, urban, suburban, or rural?

2018-10-13 22:50:15 UTC  

Rural, but it's not "all-white", tons of blacks and Hispanics

2018-10-13 22:50:19 UTC  

ni

2018-10-13 22:50:32 UTC  

ke

2018-10-13 22:50:33 UTC  

is

2018-10-13 22:50:34 UTC  

a

2018-10-13 22:50:36 UTC  

great

2018-10-13 22:50:39 UTC  

company

2018-10-13 22:51:12 UTC  

Alright...

2018-10-13 22:51:36 UTC  

This "all racists live in all white areas" is just stupid

2018-10-13 22:51:49 UTC  

Every liberal I know lives in an all white neighborhood, generally speaking

2018-10-13 22:51:53 UTC  

Rural regions tend to be where more conservative attitudes are held due to a lack of interaction/experience with other cultures, as is more common in other areas

2018-10-13 22:51:59 UTC  

Would you consider me a "liberal"?

2018-10-13 22:52:07 UTC  

Have I met you?

2018-10-13 22:52:12 UTC  

I call myself more of a leftist, but if you consider these attitudes liberal...

2018-10-13 22:52:12 UTC  

I mean, it's 40% black.....
