I noticed that racial categorization and segregation (even to the point of having clubs/organisations related to race) is highly prevalent in America.
Personally, I would have thought that with America being so multi-racial that generally people would care less about that sort of stuff.

In contrast, in Britain (provided you're not part of a group that deliberately segregates itself such as some Pakistanis), people really don't seem to care where you're from. You're just British. Sure, if you have some interesting ancestry that might be the topic of a conversation, but that's about it.

Oddly, I previously had the impression that Americans were more interested in their national pride as just Americans, but as I get to know the country more I see how strongly obsessed it is with racial categorization. Oh, and for clarity, I'm talking about all races not just the historical black/white divide.

Because they have balls to tackle racial issues unlike Brits who would rather have thousands of girls groomed, raped and prostituted than admit subhuman behavior of so called minorities.

Also "we all British" is just a phase while subhumans are too few to have political power. It was the same in US right up until minorities gained media and political power then it immediately became fuck america and fuck white people.
So have fun being friends with that great Pakistani dude you know. Just don't be surprised when his kids beat the shit out of your kids because they're white.

How come everyone is fighting for territory and power in white nations built by white people? How could this have happened goy? Why arent blacks and browns staying in their homeland? How come they make enclaves in white nations? Whites did not vote to have this happen in their nations so why is it happening?
>>
>>133118136
on the ground face to face no one gives a fuck but stereotypes are often played with if not recognized as a "until they prove otherwise" type of thing but it doesnt matter much unless you are talking to a leftist organization that will bend over backwards to favor minorities. racial tensions have gotten a lot worse then before bc obama and leftist media pushed conflict theory for like 8 years and now there is worse relations then before

for the majority of america though is tired of diversity laws but dont want to come out and say that bc sjw's will try to fuck up their business/personal lives

>>133118911
>Also "we all British" is just a phase while subhumans are too few to have political power
This could explain -part- of it, but like I said I'm talking about every race in America, not just the problematic ones.

>>133118860
>my country doesn't have a group made up of 6% of population that commits 50% of murders
I'm not talking about just blacks. Are you people incapable of reading.

>I am a sheltered white boy with liberal neighbors
I went to a comprehensive. There were blacks and other race students there as well.
>>
>>133118136

I can't really compare to Britain, but I think we tend to have much bigger populations of specific races or nationalities that stick together and make their own American version of their heritage. For example, many cities have Chinatowns, Irish areas, Italian areas, etc. As a result, we tend to have both pride in our ethnic heritage and our heritage as Americans. When everyone was Christian, this wasn't such a problem, but as we've taken in more and more divergent cultures, this has led to a general fracturing of the American side of the identity, so people start to identify more with their other heritage, or just as a black, white, Muslim, etc.
>>
>>133118136
>Why are Americans so obsessed with race?
because they still watch cable tv and use facebook because they're fucking stupid.
>>
i doubt the americans care as much about race as foreign media suggests. you can be as brown as you want and likely few if any people will bother you. it's not like an asian country where real actual racism is actually common
>>
>>133118860
>>133119345
Further, to be it seems that American liberals are far more likely to make a big deal out of race.
>>
>>133118136
In Europe we, up until recently, had no reason to "obsess" over race, because our society was always racially and ethnically homogeneous. In America, they had blacks and indians from the start.

If you have to live near "minorities" (soon to be majority) you cannot help but notice that things arent what they ought to be, no matter how liberal you are.

Its too bad we never got to vote in both canada and usa on the 1965 immigration act in both our nations. If you polled all the whites in 65 and asked if they are ok with opening their borders to all races and religions and tolerating them, what would they say?
>>
Same reason London has a Muslim mayor

>>133119492
this leaf knows whats up, as i said before face to face it doesnt matter unless your speaking to leftist which flagellate themselves for anyone who is any shade of off white. our media is nothing like real life. for the most resonable news about the usa check out bret baire, he is one of the last people that try to do obnective journalism so it seems boring and his rating suck but its really fair/balanced
>>
>>133119492
I'm not talking about racial discrimination. The categorisation and apparent segregation aren't necessarily the same thing.
Also I'm not making my assertions through what I see from foreign media, I'm doing it through American media and Americans I know.
>>
>>133119571
You would be wrong. Real life isn't like what you read online. Most blue collar whites(r) are racists.

Why did your family decide that my white nation is where you will live? Why did your family betray your homeland and people to sojourn in a white nation? You sellouts

Turns out that having lots of niggers and cactus niggers actually makes one MORE race conscious, not less. Its almost as if different groups of people should live separately.

Because you won't stop them? Read up on your country's immigration policy, its one of the easiest to complete. The fact is, the majority of your nations citizen don't feel threatened or had their quality of life decreased because of the immigration policies your government put forth, so trying to shame others taking advantage of what's already there will work out as meaningful as being anti immigration on /pol/, insignificant
>>
>>133119571
You are actually correct in this one. Liberals tend to be quite racist, though they rationalize their "soft" racism as some sort of parental concern or some shit.
They convienently ignore the part where they treat an entire race like children who need to be told what to do.
>>
>>133118490
You are a fucking retard, as is st least 90%"of /pol/.

It's no surprise that the world considers you" people" fags.
>>
>>133120563
Perhaps "soft" racism (i.e. not obvious racial discrimination?) is a good description for some of what I'm talking about, but I'm also thinking about how things like what I said in >>133120133
exist.
Perhaps related? But then there still needs to be an explanation as to why the actual members of the race go along with it.
>>
>>133118136
Because we have freedom of speech, which by in large creates freedom of expression and thought. They're subhumans and the lower lifeforms must never mingle with those higher than themselves. If you ever see an american highschool movie or tv show you'll understand how our society works.
>>
>>133118136
But you're not british OP, you're a nigger.
>>
>>133118136
we arent, commie pussies and niggers are. their culture is playing victim, and thats the easiest victimship to claim
>>
Marxism and postmodernism. SJWs are taught in college to judge people by their race and never by their character, it is "colorblind" and "racist" to ignore race. The entire field of sociology is centered around categorizing people into group identities and assigning privilege and victimhood to groups as a whole and judging their worth of opinion by their level of victimhood. They are utterly obsessed with race and racism and that has been injected into our society over the course of decades. And then you have WNs and whatnot who play the same game of identity politics. All of this is reinforced by the media on all levels, whether entertainment or news. If not for Marxism, racial identity would be nearly dead in the US.
>>
>>133118136
It's because America is literally defined by its diversity, while UK is still "British".
This still doesn't change the fact that racism is more prevalent where more races co-exist.
>>
>>133120400

So it sounds like you believe whites would have voted for this and jewish owned politicians had nothing to do with it. If you leave your own country to take advantage of white taxpayers you are a traitor and coward.
>>
>>133121076
This actually seems to be a coherent explanation to me, especially when considering the way race is portrayed in American media.
>>
>>133118136
That's the lie of multiculturalism, Nigel. It makes people more racially aware, more focused on race and differences, etc.

Humans will naturally sort themselves out and have a natural affinity with their own tribe.
>>
Up until the 2000s, US was moving in that direction. BLM and other identity politics groups have brought race back to the forefront, though.
>>
>>133118136
Because it it constantly being shoved down out throat. I truly believe identity politics has set us back decades.
>>
>>133118136
As more groups emerge, each struggles for dominance of power. Diversity in the long run leads to conflict as more groups pop up. Their values clash and eventually the scales tip in favor of one group, thus the dominant group changes the policies and laws when they have more power.

This isn't lefty bullshit, this is common sense. This is what many of us fear will happen when there is a Muslim majority, this will lead to Sharia being the law and subverting our own laws which give sanctity and security.

>>133121655
>Their values clash and eventually the scales tip in favor of one group
The problem with this point is that (to me) it doesn't seem that it's a divide on strictly cultural/values lines. For example, a multitude of different national heritages exist amongst blacks and Asians exist in America, yet they are often grouped together.
I couldn't say which race this is most obvious with, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
>>
>>133122105
What race are you? I have a feeling you're not white
>>
>>133122284
I am white.
Why do you say that though?
>>
>>133118136
They, like most people don't understand that the true self is consciousness alone experiecing life through a body vessel. Race, physical form, etc are irrelevant and only serve to strengthen the ego through mental projections of the past and future.
>>
>>133122105
this is correct. this guy>>133122284 is being a crypto marxist and saying conflict theory is real. it ddidnt work with financial sectors so now they try to make it about race
>>
>>133122646
I'm not familiar with conflict theory. How does it apply here? If you don't mind.
>>
>>133118136
Also you forgot to mention that the people of the UK use english, scottish, welsh, irish, etc. to describe themselves. Only shitskins use british.
>>
>>133122391
Well, a white liberal on /pol/ is rare but I guess we're mainstream now. Most people with your views are other races.
>>
>>133123041
Which view is it that I've expressed that you think is liberal?
It's interesting that you're kind of proving my point by asking my race though.
>>
>>133122846
conflict theory is a marxist creation that says that different economic classes fight against eachother for power. it basically claims that each economic group has strict boundaries and acts homogeneously to wage war against the others in order to fight for more power. he used this idea to rile up downtrodden people and gain popularity. this concept was exported to the usa by the frankfurt school accomplices and students who tried to get the american public to accept the idea, which failed. then the frankfurt school switch their tactics and claimed that that "real" conflict of power was between races and that each race is a homegenous tribe group that fought the others. this anon>>133121655
is quoting marx's conflict theory word for word but pretends he is not a leftist, i think he is just retarded or is a crypto lefty.
>>
>>133122846
>>133123324
additionally if you follow that premise through what that other anon is saying is that all the fault of anyone person is because some other race group is "bringing you down"; like you said it ignores ideological differences and removes all self responsibility
>>
>>133123256
If you stay on /pol/ long enough you'll understand why you're racial views are liberal.
>>
>>133123324
>>133123722
That all seems very relevant. I've heard of the Frankfurt school before. I'll look into it more, thanks.

>>133123845
I was asking for your opinion, not whatever you identify as the the group think's one.
>>
>>133123997
I dont believe races can integrate or get along I believe that segregation is the only answer for different communities that doesnt mean there cant be multiracial cities but on for the majority of a white country people should be segregated since they've already been introduced into that society. Any other solution is just tiptoeing around. In zoos the keep different subspecies in different sections for a reason. Humanity must do the same with our subspecies.
>>
>>133118136
It's about power. The power to dominate the other!
>>
>>133118136
democrats try to divide people on race when it isnt an issue. so they mislead the dumbass millennials with "oh well BLACK people are still oppressed and you WHITE MALES are privilaged". all of it is a ploy to get them against the republican party and vote democrat bc the dems are power hungry jews.
>>
>>133124538
I understand your point in relation to multiculturalism but I don't see how you generalise it to multiracialism.
