Wait wait, so you're actually saying that minorities turn to crime to confirm the stereotype people have about them?
|
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Bullet Magnet, could you dig out that study they did on a bunch of schoolkids? The one where they told them that people with certain eye colours were objectively superior? The one that demonstrably proved that if you treat a group of people like shit, they will rapidly come to act like shit?
Even without that phenomenon, let me ask you this: If no-one's going to hire a filthy Moroccan, how exactly are they supposed to make money? And don't say they should go back to Morocco - poverty is probably why they left in the first place.

The 'racist' parties only started popping up in the last 10 years or so.

Extremist parties have existed for as long as democracy has. Like Nate said, it's just the recent onset of Hard Times that has made people more sympathetic to them.

The actual problem I'm talking about pre-dates them by at least another 10 years

People are not problems. Problems are problems.

Also, to make this very clear; I'm not saying that every single person in this ethnic group is the same.
|
Fun fact: In the early days of the Holocaust, more moderate Nazis insisted that they were only exterminating the "bad" Jews.

I'm saying there's a very large group that's causing a lot of trouble and that has absolutely nothing to do with racsim. The fact that there are people, like you, who claim that it is racism is very a very dangerous thing.
|
It has
everything to do with racism, and the dehumanising notion that some ethnic groups are inherently more inclined towards destructive behaivour is, in terms of death count, probably the single most dangerous idea in history. Every instance of genocide, many cases of murder and several wars were set in motion when one group of people decided another (usually a different colour) were up to no good.

I don't expect you to really understand without labeling it as simple dumb racism.
|
"I'm not racist, but everything I'm about to say could be very easily construed as racism."
... Seems legit.

If you could see it, you'd probably get fed up with it just as quickly as the majority of the Dutch inhabitants.
|
Oh, no no no. I'm not for a second saying that it doesn't suck to get mugged by a Moroccan. I'm just saying that assuming that he mugged you
because he was Moroccan is really really really reallly really fucking stupid.
I have a beard, and like cheese. The beard does not infer that I like cheese.

Personally, with my own eyes, I've witnessed over the years:
Lots of things that validate my decision to not like Moroccans.

Not saying that other groups of teenagers are a bunch of angels.
|
I don't think there's anyone here who believed that you hated Moroccan teenagers because they were teenagers.

But this particular group is causing so much trouble, is so overly aggressive and intimidating, that cities and towns are getting special funds from the government to deal with this in particular. Up to 32 million euro was spent on this in the past few years. And you're trying to tell me that this is a problem that either doesn't exist or is caused by the media?
|
Well, the problem is
caused by incredibly rich people who aren't keen to pay for the solutions to widespread problems, so they'd rather use their cash to direct public frustrations towards someone who can't fight back (e.g. poverty-stricken Moroccan immigrants) via political lobbying and, yes, popular media.
Again, I'm not saying that the Moroccan immigrants are nice. They sound like cunts. What I'm saying is that people like you are
making them cunts.

I would love nothing more than to show you a couple of YouTube videos in which the problems are described in detail. They could probably paint a better picture than I ever could. Unfortunately they're all Dutch, so I doubt they would be of much use to you.
|
If they hold the same opinions as you, I won't mourn the loss.

Point of this rant being; pulling a racism card is easy.
|
Great! Can I consider you a convert, then?
Oh.

There actually are problems with Moroccans. In the Netherlands, possibly in your country, maybe in every country. And if daring to blame Moroccans by name is deemed racist nothing will ever be solved, and no-one will ever dare to blame Moroccans again, in fear of being called a racist.

'Nuff said.
