I quit college after five years to get an education. I was merely saying I hope you have a better experience than I did there. Don't get your knickers in a twist.

I grew up in the Jim Crow South of the 50s and 60s. I have no use for racial prejudice and hatred, especially the type I have seen displayed aimed at children seeking asylum from countries where beatings, rape, and forced labor at the hands of the drug cartels are the norm for them.

If we legalized marijuana across the board in the U.S. we would have far fewer immigrants.

No, I doubt it. Australia passed its gun laws fairly recently in response to a mass shooting. They were strong enough to eliminate the problem since that point.

Stay here, if you will. Your choice. If you do, it would be a good idea to take Spanish when you go to school.

Where do you think that behavior comes from? The ground water?

I've never understood "minority majority". Doesn't make sense. If other ethnic/racial groups start outnumbering a previously predominant group, then THEY become the majority. They don't remain a minority.

Who knows if losing the white population majority will be 'good' or 'bad'? We are already different than how it was in my Grandfather's day, or my parent's day. White minorities who immigrated here in the millions 100 years ago changed the United States forever in equally long-lasting and profound changes, and we came to accept those changes.

That's what we do best. We have never been a race of purebreds and we never will be. This is our greatest strength, not a weakness. We always get the boldest and the ones who are strong enough to leave. Good genetics for continued future strength.

But, if someone is worried their white skin's privileges will disappear, then it's time to get busy and have a lot of children. Whining about it won't change a thing.
Japan's done a pretty good job of keeping outsiders out. 'Bout the ONLY one, though.

The hatred has to be taught while a child is young, and the South has a long tradition of prejudice being handed down to younger generations. My grandsons are in preschool with children of Asian, Black, Hispanic, White, and Indian heritage, and the only thing that they see are their friends and playmates. God willing, that is all they will ever see when they meet new people.

No, that's not what it means.

Whites won't be the majority any longer, but will still, for the time being, maintain a plurality. No one race will be in the majority, but the majority of Americans will not be white, thus, minority majority--the majority of Americans are people that have historically been minorities. A better phrase might simply be non-white majority.

So it has to be hate and has to be forced on child and never negative interactions with people of other cultures and or race? Right?

Racism and or cultures; or ethnic strife does not exist all the much with one culture. It does exist is greater daily life in nations with cultures living together that can not co-exist together.

Why should English speaking Americans learn Spanish when our national de facto language is English? It is all lies then that "immigrants" aren't assimilating to our language and culture?
