"I want one race." "No, hang on, I want diversity." "No wait, I want one race." "I want ... umm ah..."

Yoohoo, Annie. Do you see what happens when people debate on instant emotional responses and don't think their position through?

Do you see what happens when you dont read and comprehend?

Well @ any rate I think its a good idea the melting pot. I dont like the segregation we have here. We will eventually evolve into 1 "race".SOB

Where's the segregation?

the segregation is mainly under the guise of "cultures" and you know where it is. The Chinese over there the japanese over there the lebanese over there etc etc all these lil cultures inside our country instead of all mixing up together.

SOB

That's called D I V E R S I T Y. Lefties claim to love diversity...so why is the end point of their gambit the complete elimination of it?

Do you ever make sense?

Diversity is fine in the world. I personally dont like the segregation and different cultures separate from ours in our country though.

SOB

aaaah hum.
Can you explain how to reconcile the 2 highlighted statements?

To put it even simpler - wheres the diversity if we all become "one race"?

What i said was diversity in the world but stop the segregation in our country. Learn to read.

What has it got to do with "lefties"? Pretty sure both of our "wings" of govt like it segregated.

SOB

What you call "segregation" in our country is otherwise known as "multiculturalism". I'm glad we agree that this is a toxic and destructive ideology.
Of course, the logical solution is to stop importing alien cultures, not keep doing it and then waiting 100 gnerations for us all to blend into one.(which will never happen anyway)

I didnt say anyone would be happy about it. I dont care. IMO its what will happen eventually.

Aboriginals are different situation ATM though. They were here first. According to their perspective we should be melting into their culture. Its not going to happen though obviously. And I am talking about the far future as well since its obvious that it wont happen any time soon. It will happen with the races like in america before it happens with the cultures imo.

What do you think will happen?

People (except DWL's) have a general preference for their own people. That's why blacks overwhelmingly hook up with other blacks, honkies overhwlemingly hook up with other honkies etc. Don't see any reason why it needs to be forced - there is no benefit to be had from doing so.

Every wonder why Cap'n Picard fought so hard against assimilation by the borg? Because a loss of diversity and individuality is a terrible price to pay.

Not true. Before succession, many Pakistanis married Indians and vica versa.

It's funny how your definition of diversity seems to be different homogenous groups living on their own separate island.

I had to look up the word to verify whether I was making a mistake in meaning.

Here's what I found;

: the condition of having or being composed of differing elements : variety; especially : the inclusion of different types of people (as people of different races or cultures) in a group or organization <programs intended to promote diversity in schools>
2
: an instance of being composed of differing elements or qualities : an instance of being diverse <a diversity of opinion>

Synonyms: assortment, diverseness, variety, heterogeneity, heterogeneousness, manifoldness, miscellaneousness, multifariousness, multiplicity, variousness

Antonyms: alikeness, analogousness, analogy, community, likeness, resemblance, sameness, similarity

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/diversity

1.
the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness.
2.
variety; multiformity.
3.
a point of difference.

Synonyms
2. change, difference, variation, dissimilarity.

yes side by side, not on top of each other. You don't see the federation inviting the Borg to migrate to earth do you?

Curious how the federation is still 99% white, even in the 24th century, dontya think?
