Yes you are, Comrade.. That's the problem if you allow for your society to go to any extreme, right or left.. Moderate citizens are suddenly watched a heck of a lot more and they make it to various "lists".. Gulags are next.

The US is a melting pot, less than 500 years from the beginning, with only a few thousand years more to reach a less violent state.

What about Switzerland where you have multiple ethnic groups in large numbers and they haven't turned on each other. And if you start saying "bbbut they're all one race", TBS has a good reply to you..

Look at the civil wars in ex Yugoslavia. 2 groups of white Christians, speaking the same language, divided themselves along the lines of "Roman Catholics" and "Orthodox Catholics" and went at each other just as hard as they were going at white Muslims speaking the same language.

On a side-note, Serbia is #2 in gun ownership, has twice as many guns per capita sa Canada and a 33% lower homicide rate.. No school shootings yet, but I have to admit that in some Eastern cultures, children are valued more than they are here in North America after the "me me me" Baby Boomers came to power.
