lulz. this thread delivers in spades!

One. Give me one counterexample where different ethnic groups coexisted for centuries completely without strife.

Right, I'm sure you can provide examples of homogeneous societies that existed for centuries "completely without strife".

[Al B. Sure!]

It's because Hera is from the Balkans so he thinks ethnic conflict is the norm for humanity and impossible to not have... the bizarre thing is though that Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, and Slovenians are all ethnically/racially the same and speak the same god damn language but still want to kill each other.

[C0ckney]

it's not bizarre if you take a moment to think about the other things which go into making up a national identity.

[Al B. Sure!]

It's all religion. Orthodox Serbians, Catholic Croatians, Muslim Bosniaks.

You are nothing more than a apologist of imperialism.

Never been called that before. I'm a follower of Jesus.

Depends how you look at it. "Asian" is our new word for "Oriental," which referred specifically to persons of a more easterly persuasion than Pakistan. We need a more specific PC term.

You people really need to stop going around assigning new meanings to words and then acting all surprised when people get confused.

How about East Asian and sub-continental Asian then? Just because we can't say swutting 'oriental' anymore.

A. "You People" is actually potentially insulting, believe it or not.
B. It's not like it was my decision. I'd be fine with calling them Oriental still. Or pretty much anything more polite than "slant" or "Coke-pisser."

that's part of it, but there's more to it than that (differences that is).

No, I don't believe it.

You are elevating the art of seeking offence to a new level.

Over-simplification. Most Bosnians aren't even Muslim, for a start. The Muslim side has appropriated the term 'Bosniak' in a kind-of linguistic land-grab over the Serbian and Croatian Bosnians.

I can point to homgenus societies completley without ethnic strife. Can you point to ethnically diverse societes with no ethnic strife?

Also need I remind you that diversity has been shown to reduce social trust, conectedness and civic participation? Need I point out that in the US people who are the most tolerant of other peoples tend to live in homogenus neighborhoods?


You know full well what the arugmunet is about, you just don't dare touch it.

[Heraclitus]

The rule of some ethnicites over others and keeping diverse people together by censorship and foce, for buisness and goverment interests candied over by a obligatory universalist state sponsored ideology seems as good a definiton of empire as any other.

Over-simplification. Most Bosnians aren't even Muslim, for a start. The Muslim side has appropriated the term 'Bosniak' in a kind-of linguistic land-grab over the Serbian and Croatian Bosnians.

But the bloodshed was over ethnicity. Seriban and Croatian Bosnians fought with Serbian and Croatian forces.

How about you show some evidence that homogeneous societies have less strife overall than ethnically diverse societies? The form strife takes isn't all that important to me.
