I've had the same complaint about DEI stuff in the US. Diversity is wonderful, but you also need people to integrate. The US used to be called the great melting pot, now we don't expect people to melt. No wonder we have so many problems. People used to be expected to integrate, that don't now, people should rightly be pissed.

- triyambakam 2y agoThis seems like whataboutism. The treatment of Native Americans isn't really similar to modern voluntary immigration and integration.
- sneak 2y agoSounds like the integration might be at effective gunpoint (threat of deportation) and not entirely voluntary.
- influx 2y agoI suspect they would have preferred to prevent immigration entirely, though I cannot speak on their behalf.
- marcusverus 2y agoOf course they do, but you'll never hear about them. Opinions are given weight by numbers, not abstract ideas like when your ancestors arrived. How do you think they look back on their forebears, who failed to preserve and pass on their birthright?
- nemo44x 2y ago> Diversity is wonderful Why? You literally say on your very next sentence that it’s not - that diversity must be destroyed through integration and a melting pot. Diversity and immigration always has a cost and that’s the destruction of your existing culture in part. Sometimes that tradeoff is worth it. But you can’t overdo it. And getting pissed at the people that don’t integrate is barking up the wrong tree. They never agreed to that and they should be left alone to live their lives. We should go after the people that allowed this to happen.
- bad_haircut72 2y agoMix copper and tin to make bronze, thats what people mean when they say diversity is good. They dont mean they want a sludge of different unmixed metals.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoToo bad, you're getting a shitton of copper.
- idiotsecant 2y agoI get some amusement out of people who are afraid of other cultures. Having a lot of cultures smooshed together is a culture. How do you think you got the culture you have now? Pro tip: the culture that existed when you were 12 years old might seem like it's the most emotionally 'correct' but it represents a blip in time and is no more or less significant than what came before or after it. Have some sense of perspective and you'll be less likely to turn into an old bitter man, shaking his fist at clouds.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoHow do you mix a culture that throws gays people off roofs with a culture that celebrates gay people? To me it's pretty obvious not all cultures are good to mix with.
- bombcar 2y agoObviously by creating a culture that celebrates gay people before throwing them off roofs. Which isn’t terribly far fetched - apparently some gladiators were basically sports stars, with death.
