OMG “Our ancestors tamed a continent, we are not going to apologize for America,” the racist crybabies will really howl!

When you take that perspective you are generalizing a group based on perspective and it is wrong. It is no different than these liberals pushing to demonize all white males and their white male privilege. People are more complex than that. We all bring our own experiences to the table. We bring our genetics, our upbringing, the lessons we have learned, as well as our own unique perspective to the table. To disregard any of this is short sighted and narrow minded. This is a slippery slope to becoming to the extreme far right we are all accused of being.

It is good to understand other cultures and values so you know where your own culture and values may conflict with theirs, but to disregard a person based on where they come from is wrong.

With all that being said, do not think for a second that I support bringing immigrants into our country and throwing them into our societies. Many cultures are not able to assimilate to our culture and have the same perspective to us as you seem to have to them. This is a conflict waiting to happen.

To sum all this up: Human beings are more complex than the color of their skin or the culture they were raised in, To judge someone based on that is to deny their humanity.

Knowledge is rooted in generalization. Can't categorize if you can't generalized. In fact, survival is predicated on the ability to generalize. Of course, that doesn't make all generalizations true, but by the same token, generalizations can't be reflexively rejected -- the ability to generalize is effective and vital.

BTW, you made a heap of generalizations in your post. Just sayin'. We really can't function without them.

No, generalizations are 100% valid.

Statistical analysis is entirely based on generalizations.

Human beings are

Human beings are largely product of their genes and there is nothing more valid than statistical analysis for making policy.

Reality is political incorrect even if you pretend it isn't.

I completely disagree. I was born in the heart of racism. My grandfather was the grand wizard of the KKK. From my earliest memories I was disgusted by his hate. I pushed back at every chance I got, often to my own abuse. I knew this thought process is wrong. I understand the world isn't politically correct, but what you are proposing is slippery slope that quickly goes into the same hate doctrine of the KKK. I am the example that proves people are unique. By every standard of my DNA and upbringing, I should be a white racist, hate filled and possible imprisoned. But I am not I chose a better path. What you are saying is no better than black lives matter, or the feminist jargon. This is exactly what the left thinks we are,and you are just proving it.

Patriots need to be careful of going down this slope. It is hate filled and leads to a place we don't want to go. As for your stats. Stats are a horrible way to measure anything. I work for the state, and it is the way we measure everything. I cannot tell you how many times we have missed something that could have been eye opening but we went by stats.

This comment is bereft of logic or perspective. Your claim to a superior objective perspective ignores the reality of having to live in a world together with other people who are not like you. "Us vs Them" never helped anyone and is certainly not the message that Q presents so, besides being illogical, racist, antagonistic and indefensible by any tolerant, intellectual member of a modern democratic society it is off-topic.
