Scientific basis: Ethnic diversity damages social cohesion

Well I must be an outlier then because I get on MUCH BETTER with Mexican
workers than American lazy bums and I DEFINITELY relate better to people
of Muslim background than my own religious background, Jewish. The slum
neighborhood I live at on the Lower East Side in the 60s and 70s had
community, and I WAS part of it. The nice white neighborhood I grew up
in had a 'community center', where no community was ever found.

But I guess it all depends on whether you looking to LIKE people and be
liked (in other words looking to USE them and be used)  or COMMUNICATE
with like minds (collaborate).

OFC Libertarians are in the former category...

If you look at the chart at Wonkblog's post, for Asians, you'll see they
have almost zero Black 'friends'. It's well known asians are about the
most racist people on the planet. So these charts, ESPECIALLY THE
WONKBLOG CHARTS, which I saw months ago along with the statement of
intent to match what I'm about to say, in my estimation, indicate
degrees of racism in given ethnic groups, not who LIKES who.

The article was written by a guy who writes single-sided garbage like this:

"Many people like to imagine that Islamic terrorism is supported by
almost no one in the Muslim world. That is not the reality of the
situation. Surveys done in Germany, England, France, and Spain, suggest
that about 1 in 4 Muslims think that violence against civilians in the
name of Islam can be justified. "

Of COURSE he doesn't mention the fact that almost every christian in the
industrialized world would allow the wiping out of muslims in a
heartbeat. They do. Right now. It's not a hypothetical.

Lookin' pretty right wing racist there Zen... But I know NZ is SERIOUSLY
racist, so I wouldn't expect otherwise from you. You were indoctrinated
badly but you're grown up now and should know better.
