Segregation Returns to US Schools

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Kadagar:

You would save yourself much argument if you would simply discard the mental category "race" entirely. Your problems are with differing cultural values and mores anyway -- and on that level you could make a better argument anyway.

Heaven knows I am not a fan of big pieces of certain cultural value sets -- traditional Arabic culture for example -- but human is human is human.

Now, you want to hammer out an argument along the lines of: The Iberian Hidalgo culture of the 16th century meshed poorly with the extant cultural values present in Central and Southern Amerind culture leading to a blend of the worst of both -- then you could get traction going.

And it is not as though there isn't a case to be made for a cultural values clash between ante-bellum Swedes and Post-Camp David Arab immigrant Swedes. Issues of assimilation versus multi-culturalism versus true integration etc. would allow you to really voice some telling points.
