[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A question for progressives:

In general, democrats/liberals in the US support more immigration, amnesty of those here illegally, and other policies that support heterogeneity.

However progressive economic policies seem to only flourish within homogeneity.

Which is more important to progressives? The former or the later?

I already had my own opinions on this but this article made me think of it again today:

I have voted D in all elections for full disclosure.

Liberals/SWPL's act the same 'white flightish' ways that caused de-urbanization as well - look at white people commenting regarding cupertino, tj, and other schools if too many asians come in.

Your article could be summed up "socialism works in Norway because they are ethnically pure and people help their own kind".  What a crock.[/quote]

But isn't that the case?

Look at subgroups in the US.  They can be insular b/c they wish to retain their cultural norms. [/quote]

OP here, not PP's. I think the PP you responded to would say that, that is ok since that doesn't/isn't overtly setting national policy.

It isn't a case of 'purity' and more that is there any credence that people are more open to helping one of their own.

that seems to be true? You see it even in the most trivial stuff like networking for jobs. [/quote]

I think it's human nature.

I have a tight group of friends who share my culture.  We network for each other.  However, as a female in a huge system, I also have like-minded female friends as my network.  We've gotten jobs for each other.

People need to feel a part of a group, and if a country is heterogeneous - meaning it shares a culture - of course it's easier to embrace progressive moves, as chances are you're not offending Group A to benefit Group B.

In some respects it's actually refreshing.

The USA, when you get to the root of our issues which really haven't been resolved, is an ugly nation.  [/quote]
