I seriously doubt that will happen. It most certainly will if social integration continues at the current rate. How many 100% Irish people are left in the U.S.? The trend is towards interbreeding. There's nothing wrong with ethnic and racial minorities preserving their heritage. ...yeah, it worked out well for the Jews!

Should decent Americans worry about human rights in other countries when we hear about stuff like this in our own backyard?

The right to not only mix with other cultures but be accepted for doing So?

I couldn't guess. Maybe a rejection of one-size-fits-all mentality, which I agree is a nuisance. Maybe a terrible misunderstanding of vitiligo.

That is the way things are with the Greek community in NYC and New Jersey.
Yes this video is a parody of the Greek lifestyle, but in order to make a comedy, it must be based in truth.

Need context.
How many are guilty of it?
If it's just some random podunk holler based shindig, then that answers the question.

Segregation of "races" came from another attempt to maintain the elites' dominance through a monistic ideology. Those Western thinkers who replaced natural laws of a deist God for religious authority maintained this ideology by subsuming the sensual realm to these "laws." To maintain a sense of "perfection," they had to rationalize every observable injustice. I found an interesting article that traces this process. In the 19th Century, American anthropology and social Darwinism provided the rationalization many people, especially racists, still use for these injustices – anyone suffering was “unfit” for the struggle of survival, and any attempt to limit the power of the wealthy to help citizens (thereby allowing the “unfit” to live and reproduce,) interfered with the “natural order of things.” Herbert Spencer, the leading proponent of this view, saw the State as “nothing more than a large partnership,” and the contract as “the supreme mechanism for maintaining social order with the absolute minimum of compulsion and coercion.” For those that could not conceivably be blamed in terms of failing to meet the demands of a contract, a different tactic was needed. The “otherness” that subjects of western culture had been sensitized to provided the key. The book, From Savage to Negro: Anthropology and the Construction of Race, 1896-1954, describes how American Anthropologists published work (such as the popular book of the day Types of Mankind) to convince their countrymen that this “otherness” put those whose land we stole and those whom we had enslaved into different “races” from us, ones demonstrably “inferior” to our own. Along with the strategies I outlined in the Homosexuality thread, the stereotypes that such work promoted continue to foster the racism that motivates this segregation.

Greek parents will have a fit and threaten the non-Greek boyfriend. The non-greek girlfriend, well it is OK if their son stumpfs her as long as they do NOT marry.
BTW, how many diners are in Georgia? I'd have spotted this earlier if you had done this as a reply. Judging from your reply I'd say Greeks seem primitive but I know enough Greeks to know better.

How many decent Americans are left after Trump? ...says the rest of the rest of the world.... So the 50% or so people who dislike Trump are not decent. Perhaps I'm not decent because my country voted for Brexit. Any reasons you can think of for yourself not being decent?

BTW, how many diners are in Georgia? My dad is Greek and my mom is anglo. No one is saying people should go to ridiculous lengths. But there are Greek-American social groups and of course there is the Greek Orthodox Church. There's nothing wrong with giving ethnic and racial groups the opportunity to socialize with others of their heritage. There are English pubs in LA frequented mostly by Brits. Do you suggest they be closed down? One of the pubs near my Mum is now part of a Sikh temple.

what makes you think goz is American? I know, right? Goz is just as much a vassal of the Queen as he. Yeah I should have worded it better but Goz and I have known each other from the old boards for years now. I should have written "you as an Australian" instead.

Long time no 'discuss cool non-American stuff' on an America-centric Board. I was sincerely hoping that MORE than 50% of Americans dislike Trump, otherwise there is no hope for the country. You are correct you are not decent, because, as in the case of America, the idiots won about Brexit. I, personally have many ways of being indecent, butt I try to control them on a public message Board, with mixed success.
