WAN said: Why are you so gung-ho about importing different-looking foreigners with vastly different customs, cultures and mannerisms into European countries? Is it because it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling in your gut? Give me one, just one, reason why we must mix with those different from we are.
diversity is strength. Since you obsess about races and genes etc, do you know that having children with foreign people gives your kids stronger genetics?
It is only your opinion that diversity is strength. What if there are people who think otherwise? Are you going to get on a high horse and talk down to them, telling them that their way of thinking is wrong and that only your way of thinking is correct? Why are you so unbelievably self-righteous? And why do you allow others no room for debate, much less to form their own thoughts and opinions?
Also, I cannot comment on mixed children having stronger genetics because I am no geneticist. However, I will add that for white people to mix with non-white people, many of their recessive traits will be erased. For example, if a blond-haired white person procreates with a raven-haired foreigner, their children will tend to have black hair. If a white person with blue eyes mixes with someone with dark brown eyes, chances are the kids will have darker eyes, too. So you can see, this is bad and it actually decreases phenotypic diversity.
Quote: If you have ever been to london you would see the diversity of ideas, of culture. there is a rich tapestry. Why not embrace all the best aspects of all cultures?
It is all well and good that you want to embrace different aspects of all cultures, however I just want to say that 1. some people don't want to; and 2. you should respect the will of these people and not force diversity on them by allowing the mass immigration of third-world and foreign people.
It all comes down to the principle that you should always respect people's right to object and be different from you.
Quote: different cultures, customs and mannerisms is not enough to reject people.
First of all, this is just your opinion. Secondly, not wanting to live with different looking people is not "rejecting" them. People simply have the right to choose whom they wish to associate with.
Quote: People have more in common than they are different.
By this logic, you have more in common than there are differences between you and a convicted murderer. So, does this mean you are going to marry her, and live with her in the same house for the rest of your life? No. And why? It's because similarities are not as important as differences. Same logic. Just because a foreigner has red blood cells, he/she breathes air, and needs to eat food in order to live, etc etc and basically she has some commonality with me, however I will STILL not want to live with him/her nor welcome him/her into my community. It's the same principle at work. Similarities are not as important as differences.

Indeed it would not have been my fault, however I am just recognizing the reality of the situation. People would see that I am asian and then group me with the Koreans. Would I be delighted by this? No I would not. However, I also realize that it is human nature to group and categorize people and that I indeed look similar to Koreans. So I would not blame the natives for thinking that I am Korean. I would, however, really ponder about why I am in such a predicament. Why would I, as an Asian, come to a land full of white people. Are I and my country's folks so totally incapable of building a prosperous society such that I need to go to a foreign land in search of a good life? Why do I stay in such a country, if all I am receiving is hate, distrust, and hostility?
These are the things that I encourage all foreigners in Western countries to think about.
so ill ask you again.. what if there were korean terror attacks against the canadian government and because you look similar to koreans and accept that people will group you in with them, you are treated as a terrorist, your kids are treated as terrorist despite being second generation canadian, and this continues. Do you not think that is unjust and stupid? If you are then treated with such hate, distrust and hostility, will you self-deport because of what a bunch of idiots think? Why are you unable to ever put yourself in someone else's shoes??! I encourage you to think about that.

It's like I said, I would seriously think about why I was even in the West. Why would I have to go to a land full of people who look different from me, where all I am getting is hate and hostility. Then I would seriously think about moving back to my home country, if my kids were going to be treated as terrorists.
You talk as if foreigners and their descendants are entitled to being treated as one of the natives. It's not going to happen, no matter how many generations they have lived in said country. It is human nature to group and categorize other people. If you and your kids fit the profile of being a terrorist, then too bad. People are going to view you with misgiving and apprehension
And I am talking about what IS, not what SHOULD BE. So please do not moralize and say things like how foreigners shouldn't be treated this way or that if they have lived in the West for however many generations.
