Nice! Will do 
I don't think ranting on message boards will makes us humans more tolerant towards each other. If you want to see some effect, make art. Make something that provokes people, just to see what the reaction will be. Then learn from that lesson, and make more art, which makes your opinions on matters more and more attractive.

muslims are def. not in minority.
let's not try and act like muslims, jews, and "other minorities" are the most tolerant people in the world lol. They can be and are just as bad as whitey...

Because they cause 98% of the world's problems and smell like camels or mothballs.
Oh yeah! It's so much easier wiping them out eh former Zyklon_Jay?
No. Put them on an island and have Jeff Probst host.
Instead of the flame being extinguished, it gets lit.

Was this just a joke like most of your posts? A mere reflection of society and what one must never do to another in the future? Anyways, moving on... |
I will address your question once sober.
There are a lot social factors and human properties at work that lead to cultures clashing. Everyone has their own reasons for it, so if you present just one simplistic explanation you're going to offend a lot of people.
Still in general there's a few main factors that often lead to this phenomenon:
First of all, there's the western world and it's obsession with individual freedom. We like to think of ourselves as self made individuals, and are no longer aware of how much outside factors influence our identity;. How we look and act.
Our culture is only apparent when a conflicting factor appears. Now suddenly we see someone wearing something completely different, like a burka or niqaab, and automatically assume it has to do with indoctrination.
This is true to an extent, but the same applies to us. We have a certain idea of how someone should dress his or herself, a framework of what is acceptable, and it takes someone of high social stature to be able to break that and get away with it. Theirs is a different one. It does not compute.
Then there's how we socialize with each other. People that grow op in similar environments are subjected to the same influences and have an easier time getting along with each other.
What I've noticed a lot, being part of a minority myself, is that people often find it hard to feel comfortable with you. It's much harder for people to speak freely about a lot of things because they're afraid they might offend you, as a lot of our social interactions require one to be provocative without being offensive. It's how we get ourselves noticed. This effect hurts the bonding process, and can lead to conflict because they expect you to be tolerant without being so themselves.
If you're a socially capable guy this doesn't have to be a problem, but a lot of people are not like that. They have a certain expectation of how people are supposed to behave, and are angered by people that differ too radically. Everything relating to intolerance leads back to a lack of understanding each other.
This process causes segregation, which in term causes lower social-economic statuses for the minorities, which leads to radicalization, crime, fundamentalism, and only gets worse until it is counteracted by integration and eventually assimilation, a process that takes many generations.

| Originally posted by 6meets9 I'm just wondering because I've seen these kinds of things first hand for a while now and no one seems to come to their aid at which point I feel need to step in and resolve the situation. For example there's this girl at work who wears the burka/scarf(?) and gets treated very poorly by some people who I thought were bright and level-headed and don't have such a low level mindset. The same thing happens with the jews. Upon knowing that one's jewish/paki, the jokes start and can get very inappropriate very soon not to mention how they treat the gay community which is equally worse. Now this is a very small group of people at work like 3-4 but I was shocked to hear their opinions on minorities. What is your opinion? |
