this.
forget about the legality of implementing some of the OP's ideas. unless he wants to police our thoughts as well, you can't legislate racism and hate.
the best thing you can do is figure out the root cause of the racism and hatred.

the reason why china can do what they do is because:
1. they are an authoritarian regime
2. they are predominantly a monoculture
3. they are more subservient to their govt

even without #1, asian cultures such as japan and korea have #2 and #3 going for them and therefore live more harmoniously than we do.

we not only have issues with race, but we have issues with multiculturalism.
i feel like we are less united and more divided with each passing day.

And yet some argue that those Asian cultures are some of the racist cultures existing. It's not a problem for them because they have 2. We Americans could have states that have 2 and others that have 1. and 3.

Yes we have prison gang violence here, but nothing compared to the savages down south.

Making race a non-issue in the eyes of the law is not going to revert us to a third world country.
I'm curious, which chinese cities have you been to that was a crap hole?
was it a city or a remote village?

No need to travel so far. I hear you can just go to NYC Chinatown and get your stinky.

ah, so you're judging a place you've never been to and only by what you see and hear on the news/internet.
I'm guessing you've never been to brazil either.

Your post is making more and more sense now.

You're either an American or you're not.
You’d have to blindfold them too. It’s not the paperwork, it’s the people.
How about we just only allow interracial unions instead? Pretty soon the problem would go away.

Are you implying being white is the problem that needs to be eliminated ? How Nazish.

America is one great big melting pot. IMO we are all just a different shade of tan.
