Reply #123: I'm sure if I note that there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming trend...

towards completely ethnically segregated communities in the US, you'll just blame some straw man like government or media propaganda.

You are talking to every single individual, from every ethnic group in the United States (and the world for the most part) who wishes to gather with other individuals of their ethnic group and raise their children in a community. If you've ever been in a big city, you might have noticed that there are plenty of communities of predominantly one ethnicity which form naturally when people of the same ethnic group choose to associate in the same neighborhood, numerous freely made individual decisions regarding where to buy or rent property. Oddly enough, nobody's ever felt the need to mandate these communities by law, nor do these communities act as an aggregate to prevent members of other groups from living within them. Odder still, our oppressive government does nothing to oppose them. They just happen spontaneously, exist for a while, grow or shrink depending (again), on numerous individual decisions.


Due to today's social/political environment many people don't like talking about these topics. The many meme associations we have regarding racism (etc..) within our minds likely prevents many from discussing it calmly. Yeah, I caught this point the first time you posted it. The number of pixels the rest of us have wasted on this thread suggest otherwise. Don't flatter yourself...
