I'm describing a history

also pardon the type, *legislation

If a migrant commits a crime, then that individual migrant is at fault.

Anyhow, as I was saying

Societal attitudes most certainly are discriminatory, despite a supposedly egalitarian government

And moreover, the government isn't entirely egalitarian itself

And if a group of migrants is more criminal than the native population? Is it the native population's fault?

That wasn't what those questions meant, by the way

In addition to prohibitive costs preventing many from legally migrating, and not to mention often discrimination

It isn't.

"It sure seems like white people are bad at discrimination when they go out of their way to prevent it"

If I may have a second to answer...

is what I was getting at

sure

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this...

But more or less, you're treating ethnic groups like monoliths.

Explain

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

There is variation, always

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

Extreme variation.

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

You're also neglecting the plethora of other factors

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

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

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

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

No.

Do you know why?

Because said group being studied represents the minority of a minority

"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"

What would the purpose of limiting migration be?

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

lol do you think they would care about you suffering?

Yes?

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

Where do you think I live?

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

No clue, really

The continental US, most likely

Where do you live?
