It all depends on how you take the title of this thread. If you put height on the word ethnic, then I am off topic. But, if you put the height on the word minority, then you should see where I am going.

Yes, there are a lot of similarities. Even if it isn't your fight, if we do not stand against discrimination, tomorrow it could be you that is discriminated against.
We're all discriminated against, we can't help everyone.
I was discriminated against because I have a limp in my leg and am sortof homely. Guess what I was dubbed? Quasimodo..
Someone else discriminated against cause they were black..
Have red hair..
Were gay..
Were poor..
Were rich..
Were Republican..
Were Christian..
Were Muslim..
Were blind..
The list go's on and on..
You can't help everybody. And the left is destroying America by pouring large amounts of money into this stupid-ass project to "end discrimination" when you can't end it. Hate knows no bounds and doesn't follow logic or reasoning. The best thing to do is to move on, and use that money for better things.. Like healthcare, social security, free college programmings, things that would actually be USEFUL to society..
Instead of spending OUR money trying to stop people from not letting Hispanics into a campus.. (Which by the way Hispanics tend to get the sloppy seconds of any affirmative action project..)
maybe if you used that money to allow free college education, you wouldn't have to in the first place.. just a thought..

Yes, throwing money at the problem will not work (never). I am for making consequences for peoples actions and enforcing penalties for wrong doing.

However, you ARE aware it's only a matter of time before that backfires on us and then they go overboard with it? Remember, we as Americans have yet to know "moderation"..

Balance is harder than we think. All things swing from one side to the next. But now we are off topic.
What defines a minority? How can anybody declare themself a minority? Seriously! If there's enough of something to be acknowledged, then you are not a minority..
People need to learn to stop whining, Americans seem to be the only ones concerned about "minorities and how they feel". We all have problems, learn to know what your's are and deal with them. Don't expect the goverment to make your life peachy, because life wasn't meant to be peachy..
Originally posted by SpelljammerSo government just shouldnt help anyone who isnt being heard? Years ago Mexicans were being forced into jobs picking fruit for their whole damn lives because of their lack of opportunities.I guess we should've just sat back and say help yourselves,right?

Originally posted by SpelljammerAnd you think everyone is in a situation because they are lazy? The jews were in concentration camps because they were too lazy?Africans were enslaved because they were lazy?The people in New Orleans are homeless because they are lazy? That has got to be the craziest logic i've ever heard. I'm not saying the government should try to equalize people because thats impossible but to say everyone is in a situation of their own accord and they can just magically fix all of their own problems is just stupid.
That is correct. The goverment is not responsible for anyone. Not you, not SpellJammer, not the guy next door.. if you want change, get off your ass and make change. We decide our own fates. The goverment's only job is to supply policemen, firemen, and other nesscensities. Other then that they should hold no dire resposnibility. What do you want? A socialism?
Originally posted by SpelljammerOk first off we went to war primarily for WMDs,not to help oppressed people.Second i'm not so liberal that i think we should sacrifice our own people just to get into something we cant even handle.World War 2 was just fighting and rescue.This is us pretty much building a country's government.And its hurting our own economy greatly just to finance war and rebuilding costs.
Then why are you against the war of The Middle-East? Isn't trying to establish democratic rule just as noble as the things you listed? Isn't Isral entitled to the same freedoms as The Jews of World War 2?
