In reply to the discussion: Readers of Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" react to the Cheerios ad featuring an interracial couple. [View all]Laelth
(32,017 posts)9. Diversity and tolerance are anti-American?
The poster in the OP who suggested that diversity and tolerance are destroying the United States doesn't know much about this country. We have always been very diverse compared to most other nations on Earth, and we built basic tolerance into our Constitution via the First Amendment.
Said poster invites me to go to Europe and says I am destroying his country. The facts seem to show that his loathing of diversity and his hatred of tolerance are very anti-American. That poster is destroying my country!
I would invite that person to relocate to one of the lightly-populated Andaman Islands if intolerance and homogeneity are so important.

I agree. It's not racist to report, accurately, that some people ARE racists and will boycott.
