Minority Communities.

My house is located near a park. On the other side of the park is a community center for Seaks (I apologize if I spelled that wrong). Located around the community center are homes, nearly all of which are owned by Seak families. Growing up it's been nice to have the multicultural influence, and I attended school with many of the kids from the Seak neighborhood.
The topic for the debate is this. Is it a good thing that some minority groups (like the Seaks in my area, but we'll extend it to minority groups in general) voluntarily form small centralized communities? Or would it be better if the community were more spread out?

on the downside, it reduces integration with the rest of the community, and worse still. uneducated, xenophobic types find it very easy to target such areas of minority communities.
its a natural thing for peoepl to group together, nothing wrong with other sikhs wanting to join for ecample, its when they purposely exclude other groups when it becomes wrong
ie english people in spain group together moreso and same with other groups in other countires
It's normal.
Yes, whats your point?
No, I was just wondering why you were asking.
never seen it so blatent anywhere else ive lived.
First you've got poor bastards like the Palestinians who become a minority because of displacement. In their case I think it's vital to maintain their ethnic and cultural identity and their attempts to regain territory, even violent means are justified in my opinion. Some nations in Europe may be in a similar position in a few generations.
Second you've got those who found themselves minorities when new states were drawn up. If these communities want to seccede from the state so as to better preserve their cultural, racial or any other integrity, that's worth supporting too if the alternative is conflict.
Third you've got immigrant groups. If they wish to preserve racial, ethnic or religious integrity they would be better advised to stay at home. If they wish to become Americans (without a hyphen) and Americans invite them in, they should be made welcome.
Fourth you've got long term minorities such as Europe's Jews, Native :rolleyes: Americans and African Americans. If any of these communities are unhappy (or make the majority community unhappy), either party should be supported if they want to divide the territory and go their separate ways - better that they could get along but if the alternative is conflict... :wave:
I would only disagree that there are "jews", "indians", "americans", "states", "minorities", "Paletinians", "culture", "immigrants", "races", "Ethnic", "communities", "majority", hell let's just say apart from all the nominalisation and fiction your post has some great verbs and conjunctions.
People dont always want to integrate. I think integration should be encouraged, but you cant force it.
I wish everyone thought like you, really, but until they do I'm gonna stick with the Ginger Libertarian Fishermen.
What are they then?
You'd be the first to complain about Saudi's not intergrating in britain you filthy hypocrite.
Again, those things don't exist. Why waste energy solving or thinking about these problems by pandering to sloppy thinking when waking people up to these lies is the best way forward?
Pretty difficult given that's also a (comic) lie. You are an individual and believing otherwise won't make it so.
As I am factually correct it's a matter of when, not if. :thumb:
Or does the Sun orbit the Earth and the Earth become the centre of the universe?
Progress demands the realisation.
.... that Capitalism is the vehicle to take us forward.
Reading comprehension - Nil points.
No argument here, RK. Hell, even Marx said that mate.
can women drive cars in Saudi?
can people wear the crucifix in public?
No, and I assume, no.
Whats your point? Earlier today you were saying they had lessons we could learn.
I think the reason why people target each other for issues such as skin colour and religion is because of fear, or maybe they're simply unhappy. It's something that's been going on for years and sadly something we need to fix if we want our kids growing up in a safe and happy world.
You are a lie that doesn't exist, I'm afraid.
