No, most people do not want to mix with other races. At the end of the day IF that happened, it would only be the US and maybe Europe. The Asians, Africans, etc do not do such a thing - Whites are the only countries 'embracing diversity'

I love how we get so much flak for slavery. Of the 12 million slaves brought to the New World, only 500k came to the U.S. The largest slave traders were Portugal, Spain, France & England and England then abolished slavery (something the Black Africans have yet to do).

I'm so sick of hearing slavery as an excuse, only 1 in 70 owned slaves. The Whites in this country are predominately German, Italian, Irish, Scottish, etc etc... No countries which ever had slavery.

Whatever. Any racially diverse society will have 'racism'. And quite frankly, I think Black people in this country perpetrate it by the way a large portion of them act -- violent crime, laziness, having kids they can't afford, loud, etc etc.

Racism will always exist when people look different... AND act different.


There's a reason that the same kind of racism towards Blacks & Hispanics don't exist towards Asians. And it's because the Blacks & Hispanics have a culture which promotes violence, crime, sex, hitting women, gangs, waving money around, grills, etc.



I'm sick of people saying "it's not a racial issue" when certain groups in White countries whether it be the U.S.A, England, Germany, Australia, etc. have problems with violent crime and other social ills. When does it become a racial issue? There's a reason some people built civilizations and others stagnated and did nothing.

But they weren't slaves in England. It's not like in the USA where anyone can blame a dislike for the country on that.
