I feel like people don't critically think about this enough. Basic, entry level bigotry really is just people equating the color of your skin or something about your looks to a culture, and they don't like that culture.
The generalization portion where you equate a person's looks to their culture is the part about bigotry that's wrong.
The part about not liking someone's culture is fine, and that's what libs don't understand.
Before you start pinning swastikas on me, answer me this:
How do you feel about cultures that perform female circumcision, also known as FGM?
I'm personally against it. I'm sure many of you are too. But
going into countries and trying to get them to change their culture because they do something you don't like is the same thing as me going into a Black neighborhood and trying to convince them to act white.
You can dislike someone's culture. It's ok. What's not ok is multiculturalism, because:
A.) it fails to acknowledge that some cultures have differing views on things to a level of conflict.
B.) Some cultures literally develop due to direct conflict with one another.
c.) It takes a very ivory towered "White Man's Burden" arrogance that cultures should be forced to change to be more cooperative.
Look at all the racial categories we have, and look at the ones who are the most successful in our culture:
White European Americans have been around each other long enough here in the US that the lines have blurred between the different European cultures and now everyone's just lumped together as "White" even though 100 years ago you'd get shit on for being Irish, Italian, or German. Overall "whites" are doing fine.
Next best? Asians. Despite the shit they went through, they've assimilated really well, and are doing really well for themselves too.
Latinos? Doing ok. Usually takes a generation or two. Illegal immigration is actually a huge setback to their assimilation as they've slipped through the cracks, and are working exploitive jobs that don't give them enough time to work on assimilating, but when they do, they do well.
Who's having the hardest time? Blacks and Natives. Why? Oppositional cultures. Yes, they absolutely catch a lot of shit and have unnecessarily hard lives. But the ones who usually do the best, particularly in the long run, are the ones who leave their cultures behind and embrace "white european culture". What's holding them back? Opportunity, yes. The other thing that's holding them back is their community. White people don't insult or denigrate you for acting white, blacks do that to other blacks, and natives do that to other natives. They hold each other back because they dislike whites so much they can't stand it when they see one of their own embrace it, even if it leads to that persons' success and rise from poverty.
It's the same with the sexes too. "Toxic Masculinity" tries to keep men in a small confined space that isn't necessarily healthy for them. The number 1 thing that hurts feminism and pulls women down is other women backstabbing each other.
You can either have multiculturalism and eternal cultural warfare, or you can have cultural assimilation and peace.
Charles Barkley speaks the truth!
