    I think Norway works because its a small country that is culturally and ethnically homogenous

    Why do you use these euphemisms when you mean ‘all white’? It’s such a tedious exercise when it’s already clear where you’re coming from.

    And you’re not answering the question. I asked you why you think having ‘racial purity’ in a country makes it easier and better to run. You restated that you think it’s the case. Elaborate.

      I didn’t say all white because I don’t believe it has to be all white, I think ethnic homogeneity allows groups to forgo a lot of issues that come from having different people with different values all amongst each other. I don’t think that should be very controversial. If you don’t believe me, go look at the most successful social policies are mostly racially homogenous. You can shut your eyes and pretend like it’s not the case but it’s not very helpful to the conversation at hand.

        Can you please for example tell me what black people care about differently than white people?

        Those things that don’t follow from racism and its history, of course. This is about your premise. I’m trying to uncover why and how you think different races are different from each other such that they can’t get along in the same society and we should “go back from where we’re from” if things were going to run as smoothly as possible.

          Are you denying that different cultures have different values? Why do you think ethnic groups have battled so much throughout history?

              I don’t have to answer your reductionist questions. Be mature and be able to discuss ideas without sperging out

                What am I leaving out that you would require to answer the question? If your objection is that it is reductive. You say people of different races have conflicting values. Why can’t I ask what they are?
