The true racists are the extreme right and the activist left.
We need to treat skin colour like hair colour.
You wouldn't lynch someone because they were blonde.
And you wouldn't run a system that allowed red headed toddlers in Alice Springs stay with their alcoholic abusive parents but remove blonde children
You wouldn't get upset if your son dated a brunette.
And you wouldn't have separate departments for blonde health care or blonde housing.
Judge people by their behaviour and contribution.
If people coming to Australia from China work twice as many hours and commit half as many crimes as people coming from somalia, then import Chinese.
If someone says that's racist against dark skinned people, tell them , no, it's a firm boundary based on data.
Believe the data and act on that.
If gazans become very cheerful positive aspirational people who send their kids to uni instead of to dig tunnels, then import gazans.
If Danes start blowing up buses and beheading people on YouTube, cancel their visas.
A firm boundary as to what is acceptable BEHAVIOUR and zero attention to skin colour
All true but of course firm date indicates that African countfies, full of Africans, are more backward on every indicator than, say Europeans or the Japanese.
What is more, when Africans go to Europe or Japan or Austrzlia etc, they carry those hard data indicators with them.
No, it is not the hair or the skin colour as the
cause. There are individual Africans who are splendid. How do they do it?
They do not identify with African culture and customs and norms but behave according to other, better cultural norms. They leave behind the ghetto, the tribe, the clan, and sing better songs.
One's culture, morals, character is changeable even if skin colour and bone structure aren't.
When we encounter others we read not only their skin and hair colour but a millon other signs that point to intelligence, character, morals, personality.
The accumulation the "hard data" of such readings is the basis of generalised judgement about categories of people. Race is just one category we recognise.
