We have enough different minorities, and large enough numbers of them, that there's a ready target for every attack the wealthy make. This is not saying that Americans are more racist than the rest of the world. It's saying that race is an obvious and easy way to define "others" and target them, and because we have them, that's just what those in power do. -- Drew

The same upbringing. Once it starts splitting apart it gives openings for discussions on how one is wrong and the other is right. Any society with identical ethnicity means they will agree on how to go forward. The second it diverges it creates problems. As a Jew I was always the minority. I was always the one to be stomped on. I was always the one that disagreed with majority. Not that I would want to live in Israel. I think they are a bunch of assholes. Because as a Jew I was always taught to argue. Jews never agree.
