[quote]Very well said. It says more about someone's world view and circle of friends that they feel inclusion of diversity is forced. Especially in a world post collapse. As if lgbtq and minorities can't survive as well as white males "because".[/quote] Why is your default group, outside of LGBTQ and minorities, "white males"? Does that say something about your world view and circle of friends?

    Because that's the dominant group....and the group that preferentially holds power if you live in any European country, or country that is a former European immigrant nation (US, Canada, Australia, etc..). That isnt "prejudice". That's demographic reality in 2018.

The countries you mention are democracies comprising elected representatives of established political parties, not a bunch of white male social clubs. Do the names Angela Merkel, Theresa May, Julia Gillard, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor or a bit close to home for me, Arlene foster or Mary Lou McDonald mean anything to you? European and former European 'immigrant' countries, as you put it, will tend to have demographics skewed towards large white populations because . . . shock horror, Europeans tend/tended to be white. And all the countries you mention do not actively discriminate against their non white populations. That's political reality 2018.

  • Look up which ethnic group makes up the majority...defines the cultural standard...and controls the wealth. Demographic. Reality.

  • [quote]Look up which ethnic group makes up the majority...defines the cultural standard...and controls the wealth. Demographic. Reality.[/quote] The 'cultural standard' of any country gets laid down at the point the country is established and evolves alongside the population, it can be held by any member of the population no matter who they are. The world is not one big homogeneous group of people. The culture of any country will follow the largest group within any population demographic, that's common sense. I don't agree with the term 'cultural standard' I think cultural heritage would be a fairer way to put it. " . . . and controls the wealth"? This is a really silly thing to say, how do you explain poor people who fall within the majority demographic. I really need you to define exactly which ethnic group you believe holds all this power and abuses it the detriment of, again, which group?
