Pretty funny --- what did they think "Cultural Diversity" would bring?

I'm not understanding you.

So what should they do in Albuquerque....get rid of everyone that isn't white? Make the whole city one race so that they don't have a diverse population any longer?

Maybe they could set up the concentration camp up in Las Lunas or something.

I mean, your take on this thing is very wierd to say the least.

Looks like the voluntarily listening to the multicultural propaganda hasn't been working so they have to force kids to attend an 'assembly' to forcibly have them listen to propaganda and do a better job at brainwashing.

Rumble? What the Jets versus the Sharks?

The article gives no background info besides warnings of a rumble?

And what does cultural diversity have to do with the rumble?

Racial diversity has never been proven to be beneficial to anything other than peoples touchy feely emotions.

If diversity was a great idea, it would happen naturally, not because government says it must happen.

I'd agree, but I'd think diversity does induce tolerance for others not like yourself. However if natural diversity is being opposed, that becomes the issue.

There is no requirement for anyone to be tolerant of anyone else. People are free to associate AND to avoid anyone they so choose for any reason they wish.

And they are in their private lives.

It becomes an issue in the workplace however. I've known people that still have a thing against Catholics, yet they must work with someone who's Catholic. So maybe that'd be a little easier if they'd been exposed to more growing up.

The diversity issue is fun to talk about when it's about race. When it comes to economic diversity, that's when true colors show.

"Police say they were called Friday to help calm things down among Hispanic and African American students at Highland High School.


"All the black people want to fight the Mexicans and all the Mexicans want to fight the black people - it's as simple as that, that's as simple as you can put it,..."

Can't blame this on whites. Then again, probably you can.

You can blame it on stupidity. Most people if left to their own devices can give you many more reasons to dislike them other than their race.

You can have two different black or latino gangs not liking each other wanting to fight in a school.

When there is just one or one holds an overwhelming majority, the tendency is for factions to emerge and fighting to begin.
