I still do not understand why mentioning research on this topic when discussing different cultures makes someone a " f**kin racist" w[b]ho believes that[/b] "black people can't be trusted". Can you please explain that a bit?  [/quote]

You're conflating the two statements which isn't always appropriate. I've seen both sentiments expressed as reasons why Nordic countries can have nice things and we can't.  Racism means that we aren't willing to give up some of our resources to benefit people of different races regardless of their personal qualities. The lazy black person trope -- which in fairness could be immigrants or anyone of color -- means that even if we're willing to share our resources, these lazy Others would just bankrupt us by taking without giving. But, very often, these two sentiments are intertwined. [/quote]

Ok. It’s still unclear to me why you feel that mentioning fact based research on racism/homogeneity  in different cultures makes someone racist or someone who believes that black people cant be trusted. Can you explain why you feel this way? [/quote]

So why does a multi-cultural society make implementing a welfare state more difficult? I've been kind enough to point out that Nordic countries aren't as monolithic as you thought. (Also, Australia's been multi-cultural since the 1950s and has always been a place for British outcasts. Canada has been just as multi-cultural as we have been, yet seems able to have a welfare state.) [/quote]

Australi and Canada have been lovely to their native populations.  I believe they’re still uncovering mass graves up north.[/quote]

LOOK AT THAT SHINY THING OVER THERE. Nice non-response to a legitimate observation. [/quote]
