While the public is divided over same-sex marriage, a majority of Americans (58%) say that homosexuality should be accepted, rather than discouraged, by society.
Among younger people in particular, there is broad support for societal acceptance of homosexuality. More than six-in-ten (63%) of those younger than age 50 -- 69% of those younger than age 30 -- say that homosexuality should be accepted. Far fewer of those ages 50 and older (52%) favor societal acceptance of homosexuality.
Quote:
Among religious groups, substantial majorities of the religiously unaffiliated (79%), white Catholics (66%) and white mainline Protestants (65%) say that homosexuality should be accepted. However, just 29% of white evangelical Protestants agree, while more than twice as many (63%) say homosexuality should be discouraged by society.
There also are gender and racial differences: More women than men favor societal acceptance of homosexuality (64% vs. 52%). Hispanics (64%) and whites (58%) are more supportive of this than are African Americans (49%).
In the long run opponents of same sex marriage are going to lose the argument.
There are two truths about American society. We have a horrible record of denying certain groups their human and civil rights.
The second truth is this country has slowly and constantly moved forward to build a more inclusive society.
Yes, one of the failure to assimilate means keeping their third world birth rates. Just coming to the USA to have the babies they cannot afford. The welfare programs make it all so nice.
Yeah because living on welfare is all peaches and cream.
Your point is totally irrelevant if the people you are looking at don't perceive themselves as "White" like you do.
Only, again, because the majority of the growth comes from south of the border, with its own version of colorism and hierarchy, if you expect some groundswell of kumbayaism or shift towards "more equality for minorities," because "change in cultural ideas about race".... you might find that traditional American minority groups (AKA, blacks), will be in the same position -- or even WORSE -- "culturally," speaking.
Again, we already have an idea of what this potential future can look like. It's called Miami. White Latinos and White Anglos living in high end areas, representing the top of the pyramid and resources heap. Various other latino groups ranked according to a complex system based on heritage (Cubans and Argentinians thinking they're the best, followed by Colombian, Venezuelans, and Mexicans/Central Americans looked down upon).... with black Americans marginalized on the outskirts of society, and dually discriminated against for being neither Latino, nor acceptable in color.
The resources accumulated over a period of hundreds of years head start aren't going to magically be redistributed. In fact, the inherited wealth will just be passed on to fewer individuals than previous.
"Numbers" do not = power. Again, one has only to look at Jewish people to see how a group that's... what... 2% of the population?... can represent up to 30% of representation in business and law and medicine!
That's why these surveys and demographics mean jack on their face.
Your point is totally irrelevant if the people you are looking at don't perceive themselves as "White" like you do.
They preceive themselves as hispanics, but 'hispanic' is not a race. You, or anyone else can call them whatever they want. If you want to call them black, or hispanic then call them black or hispanic. Whatever makes you happy.
Nice to see that you're keeping up the family tradition!
I'm not ashamed of it. I don't steal, I don't mooch and I don't play the knockout game.

They can be very dangerous when spooked.
