That's the fault in the liberal brand of political correctness and race relations. If you want to make people equal, you don't give them special consideration, you drop them into NIetzche's goog old funnel with the rest of you plebes and duke it out with everyone regardless of who they are. That's what made america the melting pot. Notice it was never called the centrifuge. We didn't bring equality by treating people as members of a separate group, we brought it by letting them all in and leaving to fend for themselves. American culture didn't try to separate and deal different sets of people, it gave them one option: adapt to survive. It seems insane to respect and preserve cultures. Humanity gains from the clashing and changing of cultures. People are at their best when they are culturally assimilating. Take the Indians, for example. If Europe had never come to America, the stagnant and inferior Native culture would still be here. Now, I didn't say that the Indians themselves were inferior--that'd make me a racist--but their culture wasbegging to be eradicated. So, if you want to cure racism, destroy races. Forget about all the taboos of race relations. Let the cultures merge and eventually we will have unity. pixy
