White Guilt: A creation by ourselves

The fact of the matter is most immigrants actually do ... integrate quite well. America is built off immigrants.

People are by their nature xenophobic, even 60-70 years ago you think it was all lilies and perfect? Italians and Irish were being discriminated against, if you weren't Catholic, you couldn't date a Catholic girl and if you were black you were pretty much treated like an animal or in many cases worse.

But society will have to go through this phase, we are *one* race and we have only one planet, and we will have to learn to live together.

We live in a modern world where people are connected to each more than ever.

Is Islamic extremism, terrorism an issue? Yes, of course. But on the flipside of that, why should a Chinese or Indian or Persian or Japanese immigrant apologize for that? The vast majority of immigrants don't have anything to do with any of that.

Then why doesn't the rest of the world do the same? We all mix together in a frenzy? The world doesn't want to be "one race". They want to keep their culture, their history, their way of life. They don't want people messing with them. When the people had the chance, zimbabwe kicked out almost all the white's in their country! And I get it, I don't think its fair to have their societies messed with. But why should we be the exception to this? The rest of the world doesn't give a crap...

And BTW, I have no problems with either of the people you listed (in fact I'm 1/2 persian). My problem is when we see too much immigration, to the point it starts to affect society. I want Europe to remain Europe. Canada and the US you can have some argument, but Europe is the home of Europeans, and it should be kept that way!
