Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Is Diversity killing America?

One of the primary mantras of the left, is how valuable America's diversity is.
I'm kinda wondering about that. In the past, our diversity was not all that diverse. Think about who settled the Country. Mostly, if not almost exclusively Northern Europeans. Later, the Irish and Italians flooded in, but in essence, they were much the same. I guess the biggest difference was they were Catholic, and they settled in the Cities, not the rural areas.
Yeah, we had blacks coming in, but at the time, they were not a long term asset.
Now though, we have the black community, the homo community, the hispanic community, the asian community, the recipient class community, the disabled community, the dope smoking community, the illegal alien community...............NONE of which want to be Americans. They are here to take.
TONS of 'diversity', but much of that is of benefit to the Country. Instead, much of that diversity is a drain, a cancer. They contribute little, they take a lot. Their insistence on maintaining THEIR cultural identity is destroying OUR cultural identity.
Not to paint with too broad a brush, but the white middle class community, if we can call ourselves that, is what is holding it all together, paying for all those other free rides.
Now all those other 'communities' are proud of their identity, and are praised for being proud. However, let a person in the white middle class say how proud THEY are of being white, or successful, then all of those other communities come down with both feet, condemning, castigating, calling us racist, and in general attacking us. We have Black Pride, homo pride, hispanic pride, asian pride, poor pride..........but we are not allowed to have any white pride.
Here at UF, we have the black student union, the hispanic student union, the muslim student union, the homo student union.........all paid for by the white kids, but is there a white student union? God forbid!!
I'm getting a little sick of it all.

It absolutely is...

That, and hurt feelers and generations of folks supported by the left who feel they are entitled because they were born...

Diversity and tolerance.

Diversity unto itself isn't.

It's that tolerance and acceptance thing that keeps getting in the way.

We are supposed to be tolerant and accept them.

But they persecute us for being white, owning guns, being married, being heterosexual... you name it...THEY are NOT tolerant of it, unless it fits into their liberal agenda.

Diversity is associated with weak societies, not strong. Ours was traditionally the "melting pot" model for immigration, i.e., we had a strong culture and only permitted forks in in small numbers, and then almost entirely from cultures that were deemed compatible. To the extent their cultures were different from ours, only very small numbers were permitted in, with the expectation that they'd blend in, intermarry, and gradually their descendents would be culturally indistinguishable from any other American. That's homogeneity, not diversity. That immigration policy changed radically in the 1960s for the purpose of destroying the American culture.

No, diversity isn't. Liberalism/socialism is. They've taken over the term "diversity", like homosexuals took over "gay". What's killing America is that REAL diversity isn't the game they're playing. That would mean anybody could do the best he could by his own efforts, no matter "what" he happened to be. What they want is homogenization- everybody limited to the lowest level.
As I recall, it was "Queers" in the 60s, "Homosexuals" in the 70s, "Gays" in the 80s. It became "Democrats" in the 90s, and has remained so.

If diversity means accepting and adopting the best of each culture, then it will strengthen this country.

If diversity means excusing the worst of each culture, and demonizing the traditional values of this country, it will lead to the downfall of this country.

Sadly I see more of the latter than the former.

Of course diversity is killing us.

How could importing millions of violent third worlders with IQs of 85 help us?

It's happening in every white nation on Earth and is very much been planned and executed. White genocide is in full force.

^^^^^^^^^^^

I got no problem what so ever with any culture in america IF they work, pay taxes, and do good if that isn't the case f'em, feed'em fish eyes and rice. Problem is a few cultures in america are live like a leech on the working class to those people I hope they meet their maker sooner rather than later. No place in my culture for parasites.

Folks used to come to America, to be Americans. Now they come, and bring their culture with them, and cling to that culture, and do not 'assimilate'.
We are fast becoming Balkanized, living almost in separate Countries, all within the borders of this one.
There is little we all have in common anymore. There is a tendency to take, and give nothing back. To become entrenched in our community, and not even want to understand the Country that made it all possible.
Indeed, there is every effort made to destroy those institutions and cultural norms that made the Country what it is.

Diversity as a simple fact is harmless.

Diversity as a value is suicidal.

We have gone from the "Melting Pot" where people from various countries brought the best the had and shared it with others to a society that is becoming more concerned with its ethnic identity than with being American. I have little use for any hyphenated American.

For many years my boss was a CEO who I would characterize as a social liberal and fiscal conservative. He made a big deal about diversity, but the reality is that he wanted a workforce that looked diverse, but all thinking alike. Little tolerance for different viewpoints, personal style, or dissenting views. Of course, being a "team player" meant never questioning him.

Not my idea of diversity.

Oh yeah, diversity is same-same affirmative action. Old wine in a new bottle with a new label, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Paul

I gots my degree from a diversity.

damn Scott, I had no idea you had matriculated.

Q: What's the opposite of Diversity?

A: University.


(Saw that in a Mark Steyn book).



Lotta truth there. Schools say, "We want a whole wide wonderful rainbow of people at our institution� who are 100%, lock-step opposed to gun rights, and religion, and capitalism." Toe the line, or be shouted-down. That's diversity.

To the OP, I have no use for "diversity". Because it isn't diversity or even about diversity. It is about someone else being treated better than I at my expense, I take issue with that.

you said it! my ancestry can be traced to 7+ countries, it doesn't get any more diverse than America. it is also that mask that the left uses to destroy us. Diversity is merely the smoke screen. everything they preach is one sided.

Well said!
