[78-L] OT: Racialism.

[Alexandre Benoit]

Shouldn't we be glad that we all are not alike? 
Shouldn't we be proud of our differences? 
 
Here in Europe we all know that Poles are not like the Swiss, or Norwegians not like Italians. 
But many of you US-Americans want to put it all into one stew. What an illusion ! 
A dangerous illusion. We've seen where that leads to. 
 
Some office holding US-Americans have never understood the differences beween Pushtuns, Uzbeks, Kizilbashi, Tadjiks, Hazara, Beludji, Aimaki, Turkmen and Nooristani. 
They only see ''Afghanis''. And want to bring modern democracy to a archaic tribal society, where you are 100% committed to your tribe. How naive! 
 
Amazing that it's socially acceptable to say, 'the Swiss are meticulously precise in their 
work', or 'Italians have an excellent feeling for design and fashion'. But don't you ever say 
anything, err.... doubtful...  about an ethnic group!
