Diversity is our Strength

There was an article in VDare about Pakistanis in Rotherham complaining about gypsies — Plenty of ethnic tension to go around.

We’ve known for decades this would happen. Despite social scientists being overwhelming left-leaning, the conclusions from research pointed to the same outcome. People segregate by ethnicity, among other things, and have less trust for people they see as not being ‘them’. Low trust societies are more dysfunctional, and efforts to somehow make multiculturalism work never lead to something better than what was there before mass-migration.

The best we can say is that integration and assimilation are possible, but numbers must be small enough to prevent new ethnic/cultural blocs from forming. Smaller numbers also reduces threat to the indigenous population, making them more likely to accept newcomers, although there will always be some distance. It’s how people are wired.

complaining about gypsies

I have never met or read on-line, even, a single individual who spent any time around gypsies who has a single positive thing to say about them. Dunno what else I can say here, without running afoul of even the loose rules on Saidit, but they are a group to avoid at all costs, and to take zero shit from if forced into contact with.

Heard the same thing.

Nasty culture of thievery.

I don't blame people for not wanting them in their neighborhood.

If your whole culture is disparaging outsiders, and stealing from them, don't be shocked when no one wants you around.

Funny because the Roma were originally kicked out of the Indian sub continent by the establishment of the caste system.
