Deconstructing the white european majority.
I'd like to introduce you all to one of my favourite academics, the Norwegian professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen. I'll demonstrate why I like him by showing you my favourite quote:
"The most important thing now, is to deconstruct the white majority, and do it properly, so that it can never be called a majority again."
I agree completely. Do you?

If I wished to deconstruct myself I would jump off a cliff. No ty.
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
What does the quote mean?
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
A typical multiculturalist, these guys should be running around in padded cells. This actually real or was he being sarcastic

Well, I think it´s obvious. Prof. Eriksen wants to encourage hot women from Africa or Asia to have babies from white Europeans - like, uhm ... just for example Prof. Eriksen.Originally Posted by Kralizec
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
Statements like that smack of a weird sort of racism to me. Who cares if there's more whites or some other race? Why are we keeping score? Just treat everyone the same. I guess I don't get it...

This is something that I'd expect from truthl33t, if he were a leftwinger.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
We are getting to a point where - if someone is intentionally trying to reduce someones voice due to their racial origins; they are declaring a war. HoreTore and people like him are in for a rude awakening if they think that they can endlessly attack the lives and livelihoods of others while eschewing any ability to defend themselves from physical force. The people that you attack and seek to actively disenfranchise are armed, numerous and will murder you. When you rob from people due to their race, you are a bad person. We should encourage people to make the most of their lives, not work against people for reasons of color. We were all peasants up until 100 years ago and to single out "white people in Europe" for cultural destruction makes Breivik look sane. Would you do this to asians in asia? or blacks in Africa? or Hispanics in S America? Maybe, but that's only because you are a moron with a nonsense morality.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
I'm guessing that the quoted statement is supposed to mean something entirely different from what you people are thinking, and that HoreTore is trying to rile you all up.
If so:

Possibly, but probably not. It's the whole idea behind it, get as many in too weaken nationalism, no nationalism no war.I'm guessing that the quoted statement is supposed to mean something entirely different from what you people are thinking, and that HoreTore is trying to rile you all up.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
That depends, if he means:
"we need to deconstruct the concept of "whiteness" in the sense that Norwegian = English = Dutch = German = Italian."
Then yes, I do agree. However, it goes without saying that we likewise need to deconstruct the Black and Asian majorities.
There was someone have a winge of the Guardian the other day about white privilage and white rage at dissenfranchisement.
"Whiteness", like "Blackness" exists primarily as an international concept, not a national one.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
You know, in New York some white dudes pay top dollar to be deconstructed by hot young things in leather.
Wait, maybe I'm reading this wrong.
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
More to the point I think he is aiming at: there is no white race; no "pure" race; so get over it :p

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
Couldn't really give a damn what he means, it's a bloody stupid thing to say and he should be locked up.
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
Locked up for what exactly? Saying stupid things is not a crime.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
We can lock up just about every leftist intellectual than. Not that bad an idea actually. They really believe this.
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
If I went around shouting about 'deconstructing Asians in Europe' or some such I would locked up pretty damn quick. If the law is equal he deserves the same for being offensive to me.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
He is harmless, just another leftist idiot. Best to just nod and let them ramble. If you try to explain that racism isn't exclusive to whites he wouldn't understand and will either sheepingly gaze or cast 'populismos' (or in the worst case scenario try to claw out your eyes but this one isn't female)
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
I am not a native English speaker - but isn't the meaning of the term "deconstruct" a bit different from "destruct"? Could it be the the professor simply suggests that the "white majority" is actually also a collection of different groups?
EDIT: reading all posts actually helps - just noticed that PVC already basically said the same.
Well ... back to work...

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
A: No, you wouldn't.
B: He's an academic, and HoreTore is almost certainly quoting from mid-way through a paper he has written or a lecture he has given, i.e. out of context.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
Whathe said just before my quote, was that we have already deconstructed the asians.
I'm going on a safari tomorrow, so unfortunately I have to end my trolling. Krazilec wins the thread!
Hedid thecorrect thing, and asked "what does it mean?" yes.... What does deconstruction mean? It's quite obvious that none of the conservatives here know it. To me, that perfectly sums up the right's appraochto science; they don't have a clue, but act like they do.
So, on totheanswer; what does deconstruction mean?
Deconstruction is a scientific method in social anthropology(Hylland Eriksen's field). The method is to break down the field of study into as small parts as possible, identify all the parts and then see how they relate to each other. So, if you wanted to deconstruct the Norwegian population, you could start by breaking it up into "ethnic norwegians" and "immigrants". Then you could divide the "ethnic norwegians" into "northerners" and southerners, for example. Then you can go further and break them down to "rural" and "urban", "rich" and "poor", and so on.
As for the entire quote, what he is talking about is the following:
We have deconstructed all the various minority groups. We have studies on pakistanies who have been born herem pakistani's who have immigrated here, gay and straight muslims, rural and urban immigrants, etc etc. We have, however, not done the same with the majority population. Thomas Hylland Eriksen thus means that we do not have as good knowledge of the majority as we should have, and then urges his fellow researchers to focus on the various groups that make up the category "majority". He also wants it done properly, so that in the future there is no need to refer to a vague term like "the majority".
Sound scary? Nah. If you know the term, you know what it's about. If you don't, you should try to find outwhat that unknown word means, like Krazilec did. Add a hefty dose of ignorance and paranoia, however, and what you have is a conspiracy theory worthy of David Icke.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
Interview, actually.
Edit: just noticed pvc's and ser_clegane's posts; you get silver and bronze respectively. Good job!
Edit2: 'deconstruction' is actually a method sociology has nicked from literature studies. From my understanding the method is a little different there, but since I'm clueless about literature I have no idea what that is.

Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
In my limited exposure to academics, I have come to believe that "deconstruction" can mean pretty much anything.
Re: Deconstructing the white european majority.
I don't think anyone here read it as a call for destruction. I didn't at least. He's a typical leftist idiot, I get enough from his wiki
