>It's really hard for me to believe that "most people are good" as Q put it once.
I agree - it's not what the Bible teaches. I think all of us, in our unregenerate state and without God's common grace active in our consciences, have the capacity to be and do horrifically evil acts. Thankfully, most people lack the power that wealth provides to enact the evil imaginations of their hearts.
In many cases it seems to me that cultural preferences are mistaken for racism. True, cultures are often peciliar to races, but not always. America is a good case in point: immigrants from many different races have adopted the American culture - until the likes of the Satanic Squad went mainstream. Lefties appear to hate their own culture as instigated by the Founders.
Cultural preferences are reasonable and rational; who wouldn't prefer a culture where the rule of law and property rights are upheld to a culture where corruption and nepotism dictate rules and rights?
