I search these forums sometimes, and I have noticed some discussions with the OP promoting bringing back racial segregation in America. But I want to know, what are the arguments for segregation and against integration and diversity? I can accept the theory that integration and diversity can work against itself and promote the diluting of gene heritage and cultures. I don't know, all I want is a genuine discussion. Aren't we already too past the days of segregation?

And I thought most people, including almost universal support among us millennials, were opposed to segregation. But how is the discussion of bringing back segregation going almost mainstream again?

Segregation by race, skin color, culture, religion or what?

If talking culture or religion; we've got a problem with Muslims against Christians too much of the time or English against Spanish.

A middle class English speaking Black Christian has a hell of a LOT more in common with a middle class anglo white or "Hispanic" English speaking Christian than a same race Muslim, it seems.

Forced associations are immoral.

Freedom of movement and freedom to own your body and the fruits of your labor are essential.

Statism is in direct conflict with these ideals.

No person should be forced to serve someone their service/product.

The rest of your responses with blather on about using the State to promote or discourage segregation or integration. This is a futile endeavor.

That you read some threads and posts supporting segregation on this and other anonymous forums does not mean it's mainstream.

The Civil Rights Act is not going to go away.

What are the arguments in favor of diversity? With the obvious exception of better food. Northern European food is mostly terrible.

No it isn't. You just don't know how to cook it and obviously don't know anyone else that does.

Let people integrate or segregate themselves however they choose. The government shouldn't be in the integration business.

I only want people around me to share my same basic values and be pleasant to be around.

I like different cultures and the great character many of them bring such as arts, cuisine and architecture.

If you live here, you need to speak the language and respect our national traditions and customs.
