One thing can be surmised from this. Discussions about race can never be had without some kind of war of words going on. So much anger and resentment from all sides.
Bwahahahahaaahaha. Am I surprised? Not really, I suppose. Both Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools are turning into dumps, slowly but surely.
I remember several years back in the park just two blocks from the high school here there was a massive brawl between the Hmong and blacks that got quite a bit of the SPPD over here. When I was at that school back around 2000 there were a couple other racial "riots: that occurred there too, and whites were getting assaulted left and right in the halls following the O.J. Simpson verdict bringing a few dozen of the SPPD to school that day as well. There was also a lovely shooting just two blocks up (one from the HS) where a melee spilled over into the street following the basketball game, including some gunfire.
Yeah, gotta love dieversity!
Don't worry, we MNans are the ones importing them as Minneapolis has the largest Somali community on the planet outside of Mogadishu.
Indeed.
Judging from the tone of this post, I can only surmise that you really don't want any minorities around. I felt that the moment you said "Bwahahahahaaahaha", and "Yeah, gotta love dieversity! ".

Just because I'm not PC - just because I call a spade a spade, or just because I find something like this incident funny and poetic justice to some of those who float their BS rhetoric around about diversity being such a utopian concept - it doesn't make me a person who doesn't like entire groups of people who don't share the same ethnic/ancestral background of me.

Usually, when I hear people talk about how much they hate diversity(in ethnic terms), what am I suppose to think considering that I'm part of that diversity(I'm Black American)? The only time I ever hear it is from people who have a dislike of minorities.

I think to a certain extent it is beneficial but I think forced diversity and diversity to the point of overwhelming the historic majority (in this case European-Americans) via putting alien cultures above this historically dominant culture is dishonorable, politically correct, destructive and even hateful.
For example, why are all these things considered great, to be embraced - even forced - except for one - that one not only is not to be embraced but shunned, vilified, and even criminal in some instances?:
Black pride
Brown pride
Asian pride
Native pride
White pride
That's the sort of thing that turns me off to the whole diversity crowd nonsense today. I'm told to love and embrace every alien culture but my own, and not only that but I should almost hate my ancestors' cultures and to look at myself today as some modern day villain. That's what the word diversity means to me today in America and I will have absolutely none of it.

Well, this is how I see it. I felt like there was a better way you could have made your point. And consider this. The nation we are in now, it was once populated by Native Americans, and that culture was subjected to being replaced. And the pride movements well, have you ever asked where they came from?

Diversity comes from the same root word as divided. Diversity is all about dividing Americans by race, gender, class, etc. I'm more for integration, assimilation and unity.
