I believe that at best, the races can have fairly decent, yet fragile, relationships. Put a little heat on that dynamic and it goes to pot.

At this point, there is a lot of heat on race-relationships in the USA........the tribalism that has always been there, is turning into something that is flaunted, nasty and unrestrained, as opposed to tempered and low-key, like it should be, for the good of the very artificial-construct called society.

Except eyes and ears can deceive, especially if they are engaging in confirmation bias of one’s view. I have had many of my views challenged by exposing myself to more information.

Being Jewish doesn't inoculate one from holding white supremacist views.

Case in point: Stephen Miller - who's been a racist way since being in high school, hobnobed with Richard Spencer while at Duke. TBF, one of his uncles has publicly disowned Stephen's political ideology.

Well, I guess you're fine with spending $64B on the costs of workplace discrimination - like employee turnover, lawsuits, and hits to organizations' reputation.

No they can't aside from any biased views. I don't have biased views anyway. I know what I see and hear and it's everywhere.

He's also been married to at least a couple of immigrants.

Well, too bad. The 1965 immigration laws corrected blatantly racist restrictions on immigration from Asian and other countries and I'm glad for that. For a long time, folks who look like me couldn't even be naturalized.

Your grandfather's era ain't coming back, no matter how much you pine for revanchism. Deal with it.

Why should China be allowed to emigrate people here? What did China ever do for America or anyone else? We saved them in WWII, then they turned around and fought at least two huge wars by proxy against us. We helped them lift themselves out of poverty and they attempt to steal from us blind. China to this day basically allows no one to naturalize. There's no reason to allow immigration especially from a hostile and nationalist and supremacist nation just because you want it and you'll call people names if they oppose it.
