It would be an authoritarian nightmare

2019-09-09 03:55:04 UTC  

@HurtChain I can't imagine it

2019-09-09 03:55:15 UTC  

Because I'd just blow my brains out

2019-09-09 06:30:11 UTC  

It is absolutely correct that mass immigration causes distrust

2019-09-09 06:30:32 UTC  

Controlled immigration however does not, it can in fact strengthen trust if done right.

My experiences with immigrant kids were very mixed. There were a few who were damn awesome, one who I absolutely despised, and the rest I hardly noticed that they were from an immigrant family.
My experiences with non-immigrant kids were overall very much the same. Some cool kids, one or two assholes, the rest whatever.

2019-09-09 06:34:33 UTC  

There's a reason for this: they were being integrated properly, and we were being taught to treat them just like everyone else.

One of the boys in my class got bullied for being odd. Over time we accepted him and became good friends and I would absolutely say this strengthened the bond of our whole class.

I was beaten when I was very young by a trio of brothers who's family happened to be here illegally

2019-09-09 06:36:10 UTC  

their citizenship was only discovered after my parents could finally get the police to intervene

In a couple of weeks, that professor will likely lose his credentials for speaking an obvious truth every conflict theorist is aware of, but decidedly buries it.
And likewise, @ETBrooD. My worst experiences were with the blacks, however, and they're the majority in the inner-city public schools, at least in the South. We didn't have any issues with immigrants, though, but that's due to their remaining a minority, so their social influence wasn't enough that it'd conflict with the majority group or others. As you know, the mainstream social norms and values that're reinforced among what's normalized as "black culture," in America, are rather insidious and counter to economic and social wellbeing.

I got abused by non-immigrant kids more than immigrant kids, probably because we have way more non-immigrants overall, so it's roughly proportional.
Some of my best friends are from immigrant families. I have absolutely nothing against immigrants, that's not the issue.

2019-09-09 06:38:50 UTC  

It's harder to understand that when a few kids from a minority group beat you up that this is not neccessarily a trend within the whole group. Because you don't get to meet so many people of those groups.

2019-09-09 06:39:20 UTC  

You learn to see nuance by meeting good and bad people within a group to realize that it's not the group that causes it. But for that you need to actually get that chance.

2019-09-09 06:39:47 UTC  

The native population is far larger, so you will inevitably see good and bad people in there. Your perception will be corrected.

2019-09-09 06:40:05 UTC  

oh I assumed nothing, as far as I was concerned they were just cunts, I didn't really comprehend race at that age

2019-09-09 06:40:42 UTC  

I did, it was very visible

2019-09-09 06:41:03 UTC  

Race was such an obvious factor to me that I thought it had to have something to do with it

2019-09-09 06:41:25 UTC  

just didn't ocurr to me whatsoever

2019-09-09 06:41:43 UTC  

Mhmm.

2019-09-09 06:41:44 UTC  

until out of frustration and lack of anything else to say, I used it .

2019-09-09 06:41:48 UTC

2019-09-09 06:42:00 UTC  

pardon me

2019-09-09 06:42:02 UTC  

ahem

2019-09-09 06:42:02 UTC  

I got bullied and beat up by the one particular group more than any other

2019-09-09 06:42:08 UTC  

Turks

2019-09-09 06:42:31 UTC  

This is not a coincidence, we had a huge problem with Turkish kids in Vienna, especially in the parks

2019-09-09 06:42:44 UTC  

They just hung around and caused trouble being unattended

2019-09-09 06:42:59 UTC  

as I was saying, I didn't really understand race until, for lack of any significant ad homs to fling at a particularly cunty brat schoolmate, I simply mentioned their skin color in a derogatory fashion

2019-09-09 06:43:21 UTC  

As you should, if your brain doesn't pick up on racial differences then you're less safe

2019-09-09 06:43:31 UTC  

It would be a weakness on your part

2019-09-09 06:43:44 UTC  

People who say they don't see race are either lying or weak

2019-09-09 06:44:01 UTC  

ok ethnofag

2019-09-09 06:44:09 UTC  

I'm not an ethnofag you idiot

2019-09-09 06:44:16 UTC  

Did you already forget what I wrote earlier?

2019-09-09 06:44:23 UTC  

literally ethnocentric rhetoric outta your ass
