Absolutely not, but given the horrible legacy of racism in the US, it's a form of diversity I think about a lot.

Berlin is very diverse; Germany as a whole, not so much. They can criticize us all they want, but I am sick of the smug tut-tutting.

Did I say they don't "get to"? They can do whatever they want. I said I'm not interested.

Any reasonable definition of diversity is not a hidden goalpost; it's a broad goalpost that is open to all.

Yeah, absolutely. Every nation, I'd say.

Right... Immigration equal, breakdown on at least one measure within not equal... Being open to any goalposts isn't hidden goalposts.

I was hoping that someone would have something interesting to say in response. I'm a fan of dialectic. So far, no luck.

Pardon me for not providing a preemptive defensive essay across 80 comments. You are welcome to pick if you want a short discussion.

My initial statement, a brief opinion regarding what I'm interested in, didn't call for it. Who would you like to compare with the U.S.?

I would never argue that Europe doesn't have conflicts. That's absurd. I'm just saying America's tensions are different.

How many of those immigrants are white people from other European countries?

Maybe if someone in the pile-on produced some actual numbers I'd have something more substantive to say.

Wow, classy name-calling. FYI, it's possible to be a leftist without believing that European solutions will solve American problems.

Perhaps you should check what the actual demographic statistics say about this matter.

I'll be interested in European views of our troubles when they come from nations as diverse as the U.S.

So fuck literally everybody else that doesn't have my luck, amirite!? /s

That's an interesting thought. One thing that is striking about the Qanon morass is the high drama.

Your vote absolutely does count. It sends a message about your opinion on the GOP's direction. Thanks!

"on the warpath"? Really?

You have repeatedly insisted that you were retreating from the inane argument that you demanded. I'd be more than happy to revisit it.

Ooh! Something practical and not emotive! +1
