coming from somebody who's admitted that black people make him feel uncomfortable, i'm not sure anybody takes your comments on race that seriously here
there's nothing necessarily irrational about the belief that diversity and strength are related. it's possible you misunderstand the meaning of "rational" i suppose.
right.
Trump administration tells EPA to cut climate page from website: sources
whether you agree or disagree that climate change is caused/impacted by humans, shouldn't we at least be able to
discuss it?

Interesting how people hinge on one thing that I said in 2014 - with all of the other things and explanations offered in the mean-time. Highly selective. Fit for your simple shape. I still say they make me "uncomfortable", as in, I have to put more effort into identifying with them, and I have to be more conscious around them, or feel the need to. This is true of multi-racial relations, and science can back me up with most people. We don't flow as smoothly with those not of our group. Also, if I wanted to get into it, I could have reason to be more uncomfortable, because often they are less intelligent (not always, but on average, they are not as intelligent as whites)- not that I am a genius, but it makes it a little more complicated. I've also been stolen from from blacks more in recent years/have felt in danger from (bust into an apartment with a sawed off ready to shoot) recently than any other racial groups, and have known more black murderers- ridden with them (well, one that I know of, but he shot a guy because he "disrespected" him), before they murdered. My response to be a little more on my toes around them is rational- not that I am on obvious high-alert or judge them all as one single block-- it is more that it is complicating. My level of "discomfort" I think is overbaked how people here portray it - from my mentioning it in 2014. I would also be less comfortable making the "average" black girl pregnant, as opposed to the "average" East Asian, Native American, Arab, Indian, and especially Welsh/English/German/French woman. This is rational.
As for the "right"-- Yes they deny science too in ways that make me shake my head daily. But the left is so much more populated in ways lately, and their lies are much more accepted. Not to make excuses for the current administration.
As for "wholly rational"- you did notice the "wholly", right? The left seems to think that progress is a given as long as you follow some imaginary carrot of tolerance and acceptance (?) and that it there is no reason to control immigration and maintain a strong dominant group. At the current rate "diversity" is being mainly represented by Muslims and people from nations and people not well known for their advanced art, music, medical technology, mathematics, space exploration, nanotechnology, fusion,
ideas, etc., and honestly I see it as a great challenge. Yes, challenge can help people/make us more experienced and smarter, and perhaps dealing with others over the years/with diversity has made us more civil as people. But the point is, we need to be realistic with this. Europe is not being realistic, and the "left" isn't being realistic or fair to the people of its own core-group, that built the nations they so prize their "diversity" in (and really the only way it functions, often in parasitic relationships). They disregard birthrates, culture, IQ, as if any mention of such things is just "bigoted"- end of story. My problem with the left is its dogmatic extremism when it comes to their beliefs. They disregard anything presented negative about it, or blame "us" (white men/people). It's not consistent, there is a double standard, and it isn't intelligent... I made sure to add "wholly", because there are holes in things, entire areas that the left just chooses to deny, or conveniently ignore, while hinging on selective data (often emotional, or acting as if on a moral high-ground, or that they or some group has been victimized), such as my mentioning how I
trust whites more than blacks, and many explanations of reasons why, and
how this can effect society in general (my feelings aren't isolated, and aren't unique among only whites), I try to be aware of/be made aware, but they deny these. They deny clear difference/problems caused in favor of holding up their ideology and "feel good".
As for "the economy"... as many people mention: Our jobs are already being taken by automation. If you think that is going to spare the script-writing and music industry, you're wrong. It's not going to spare surgeons, either. The "economy" argument is bogus, as it's presented. We're going to have to have an overhaul in how we do things, and immigration/increasing numbers is just a short term, and sloppy fix.
