I didnt say we were but you the post was in reply to something you wrote about election reform earlier in the thread.

No. It's about respecting diverse cultures and not being assholes to people different than you.

Diversity and multiculturalism in itself is not a strength, rather it is just a buzzword that powerful businesses and groups speak to the masses in order to be "cool".

Then there are those who are coming in to the border of other countries with higher birth rates that seemingly will replace a lot of the native populations.

What do you mean by a buzzword to sound cool?

You make it sound like there is a invasion and some sort of conspiracy going on. Some groups are having less children. who cares?

Almost as well as the Third Reich.

Judging by how often you bring up white people becoming a minority, you seem to be one who cares.

Irrelevant. Is the diversity thread not the proper thread for discussing diversity?

Then why bring it up so often?

So a government's attitude towards particular demographics isnt relative to diversity and multiculturalism?

I'm sure you could dig up any of the various times I've answered this question. Or just not ask it since you Lready know the answer.

Making it harder to exercise ones constitutional rights is irrelevant? Odd position for you to take.

While it might upset you to hear this, cultures you dislike are still cultures.

Yes but you are not oppressed like someone from Uzbekistan, Sudan or Eritrea. Your plight is nothing like someone from there.

Why does something have to be exactly like something from those countries? How are you defining oppression?

Because their are the literal definition of oppression. There is no free press, assembly, freedom of religion or speech. Elections are total shams and completely meaningless. In Eritrea they have never been held.

Define oppression. Right now you’re just throwing the word around.

The right to bear arms is deemed a right for a reason, because the lack thereof is oppression, even if you don't consider it as severe as those other things.

No you haven’t. Oppression isn’t just lacking those things. Hell, you don’t need democracy to not be oppressed.

The association of freedom and democracy as somehow being one and the same annoys me greatly.

Yeah, you are basically right. Diversity and multiculturalism are basically overrated nonsense. Racism and bigotry are probably worse, but we can still insist that immigrants assimilate into our culture and follow our laws without embracing racist nonsense.

The US Constitution is simply a legal document created by fallible human beings. Why do some people act as if it were infallible holy scripture?
