No-one is going to disagree with that, but I don't think that anyone here is arguing in favour of those who "refuse to accept human beings with a different skin tone".

Why the attempts to reduce this all to a rejection of skin colour, despite the debate above showing that ethnic differences are far more complex, or should we say diverse than that?

Is it because it makes it easier to accuse people of 'racism' in an attempt to simplify and shut down the debate?

Inherent differences don't usually exist.

How much practice and determination do pygmies need before they can beat an NBA team in basketball?

But religious, cultural and historical differences can exist.

They aren't inherent, however.

Oh, I hadn't realized that the "pushing ethnic diversity" thing that has Caligastia's panties in a bunch involves forcing him to accept Swedes and Germans.

"panties in a bunch" is getting to be a bit of a tired phrase, don't you think?

Nope, I can attest it's a frequently occurring and irritating phenomenon that's alive and well with us today.

I would cut my wrists before being forced to live in South Dakota, or any other highly homogeneous society.

Screw social capital and trust, give me wealth and choices (and inherently, less authoritarianism).
