Who is at fault for an infestation of rats in NY? Rats or the environment (trash system)? And what is the best way to solve it - try to change rats (read: change people's individual culture, which might be fine by itself somehere else, but is problematic in NY) or to change the environment (trash collection)?
Rats do what they do, nobody is blaming them per se. They are just not welcome in places they are a nuisance.
- lordkrandel 13d agoYou got the perfect metaphore. To avoid rats, you don't kill them or set traps, you do trash collection, so you make a friendly environment for clean animals and not for those which bring plague. You can do the same: have integration courses, make VISAs readily available for everyone no question asked, put language courses in place and make everyone in condition to have a job and contribute to society. The United States is a country made of migrants. Almost no one is a "native american" there. Wasn't that the most powerful country in the world, up to 10 years ago? So, "native Britons" is a sentence that makes no sense, and it's racist.
