    It’s very easy to fear becoming the minority when you are willing to treat minorities like they’re sub-human. This is the divide: it’s not that I don’t think the world is becomming less white; it’s that I don’t care. I WANT diversity, and I am willing to become a minority in support of that. Hopefully in a world where diversity is the standard, one wouldn’t need to be afraid of being a minority.

      Exactly. I don’t fear becoming a minority at all. I’ve lived in countries where I was a minority as a white person. I…didn’t really register that fact. I knew one other white person that lived there.

      These people are sick. It’s like the people who think everyone must be repressing their gay urges and that attractive gay people are dangerous because it makes repressing those feelings harder. Like…bro. You’re gay. That’s cool. None of us are going to treat you any differently. Only people who think it’s some curable disease will. People…like you.

      You’re just racist, my dude. Those of us who aren’t…don’t care about becoming minorities. I think it would give us some fuckin character, honestly. White majority nations main characteristic is, like, genocide and colonialism. Nah, I’m good.

    Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.

    American individualism goes too far. It’s just sad.

    Yeah. No kidding. We all know what the primary concerns of Republicans are.

    And make no mistake - this is who the Republicans are. If you tolerate this stuff in your party, it makes you just as bad.
