****R and others have one response to that with which they disagree:
catcalling and sneers. One is either Right, or one is Wrong, and shouting
down the Wrong people is the way to handle them. At least, online. In
person they could always just get a tire iron and attack them. That would
make them right, alright.
"Hate" is an easily leveled charge. In reality, sensible discussions of
difficult or disfavored topics are a matter more of respect than hate.
A good exampe of this is the Hmong, and more particularly the question of
whether letting Hmong move into America is wise or sensible.
Do I hate the Hmong? No. Do I thing the Hmong have some good, even
admirable qualities? Yes. They are being allowed in because in the Vietnam
conflict, unlike the worthless Arvins, they fought bravely and well. They
were our allies, and out of an essentially noble impulse we have let them
come here to escape possible (even probable) persecution from the
victorious North Vietnamese.
Do I approve? No.
Why not? Because the Hmong don't fit America.
They are culturally _and biologically_ alien to the American way of life.
They do not, will not, and can not assimilate. Wherever they interact with
mainstream America frustration and grief have followed.
Not one more Hmong should be allowed here, and those here should be given
incentives to relocate elsewhere. We should do this not out of hate, but
respect. respect for the Hmong as Hmong, that is, who and what they are.
The same is true of Somali Bantus, a group whose average IQ is somewhere
around 72.
When the odious Ted Kennedy dies, we should overturn the notorious Hart
Cellar immigration act and replace it with one that seeks to select for
harmony and compatibility instead of dissonance in the future immigrant
applicant pool. Preference should be given to Europeans, since experience
shows they're the best fit. Language, IQ and proven career skills should
count for a lot, in a points system. Those immigrants from troubled
countries should be carefully screened for problems.
