Why do you always blame ethnic minorities for social problems?

Question

Western societies always seem to blame ethnic minorities for the problems in their societies even though they they forget that they create most of the problems that those ethnic minorities are faced with. stop this nonsense, how can you talk about social cohesion and integration in your societies when you allow all forms of discrimination against ethnic minorities because of the simple fact that you hate living with strangers.

Answer 1

BECAUSE THEY GET ARRESTED FOR COMMITTING CRIMES MORE SKIPPY, LOOK AT THE STATISTICS.

Answer 2

Just look around you friend. Watch the news. Read the paper. Go into a predominantly white neighborhood and see how much dope peddling and street hangin is going on.

>>>they they forget that they create most of the problems that those ethnic minorities are faced with.<<<

In today's society there is absolutely no excuse for the gang banging, "hood" mentality. All opportunities are available to everyone if they just commit themselves to excellence in whatever they do.
I live in a mixed neighborhood and by far most of the "minorities" are just like everybody else. They want peace and to make a decent living. But also when there is trouble you can always bet your last paycheck that it was commited by an "ethnic minority",
Blaming others for social problems is a thing of the past. Welcome to the 21st century.

Answer 3

You are a right to a point. We have caused the huge problems in the slums and those neighborhoods that have been destroyed once minorities move in. Why? Because we didnt nip that crime **** in the bud as soon as it started happening. Hang the first m-fer that sold drugs, kids wouldnt have anywhere to buy it. Rob a store cause "daddy wasnt around?: b.s no damn excuse. guess what, first offense... prove you deserve to live by changing your behavior. Second offense? sorry gallow time mf-er you're bringing society down. Not just the minorities before you start running to your terrorist organizations crying racism. But do it to everyone, white, black, hispanic..the CRIMINAL. Screw the color and start hanging the CRIMINAL. Then there wouldnt be a problem. Behave like a good human being and you can live, and everyone will like you, doesnt matter what damn color you are. But if you dont, see ya. No compassion for those who do not help themselves become better people. There are NO excuses.

Answer 4

Any society (not just the 'west') will tend to blame minority groups for rising trends in social problems. People will naturally group together.

I tried to find some statistics to support the claims by other answers but UK crime surveys (albeit from 2000) show the (vast) majority of crimes in England and Wales commited by people from a white ethnic group.

It was harder to find more recent infromation, most ethnic surveys focus on victimisation of minorities. Perhaps the trend is in public perception helped in no small way by the selective reporting by the british media.

Answer 5

that statement is a load of tripe, the reason that the problems are blamed on ethnic minorities is that they are to blame for most of the trouble, look at the statistics, shock horror, the increase in crime is pretty close to the increase in immigration, a coincidence i think not. you state that ethnic minorities are discriminated against, thats rubbish, i am trying to go to university next year and i found out that if your an ethnic minority you get up to 60 extra ucas points. thats the means that a hard working white person could get 3 As and a ethnic minority could get 3 Bs and they would have to view them academically the same. i am thinking of claiming to be an ethnic minority so that i don't have to work to get into uni. if you cant get the grades its not because you an ethnic minority its because your a lazy sod.
this country has reach such a ridiculous state that is discriminate against the white community. political correctness has gone too far, for Christs sake they have changed the nursery rime from "ba ba black sheep" to "ba ba rainbow sheep" as they thought it could be offensive to blacks ( or is that people with an African background). the thing that really enrages me is this thing that the blacks want reparations from our government as an apology for slavery. if you look at your history the blacks are to blame for the slavery as we didn't go over there and capture blacks. we went over and traded with them. we would give them guns so that they could kill each other faster, remember that the African continent has never been in a state of peace, in return for guns the black leaders would give us their prisoners of war. in an African country you would be hard pushed to find an individual who isn't corrupt. thats why they are in debt, we send them money and aid and they use it to buy guns so they can kill their own people. i am getting side tracked. we where one of the first nations to abolish slavery, this wasn't any benefit to us as slavery was good for the economy, if anything the blacks should be thanking us and paying us for being the driving force behind the ending of slavery.

Answer 6

The way things are going white Britons will soon become an ethnic minority in our own country. It is a fact in several of our cities now.

Answer 7

Immigration has created friction since humankind first existed. You talk about Western society... Read the histories of Asian countries. Were immigrating groups warmly received there? The Great Wall of China was built to keep people out.

You make so many broad generalizations that it's impossible to answer your question. You do realize that the answer to your question is a couple of semesters' worth of college courses or perhaps a PhD? The answer is both sociological and psychological.

Answer 8

Far less concerned than I am with President Obama's intimate 25 year ties with racist anti-white organizations like Black Liberaton Theology Trinity United Church Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam New Black Panther Party

Answer 9

That's not the case . When you move to a new country to live , you learn to assimilate into that country's laws and values .
If you can't accept that countries laws then move to a county that you feel more comfortable with .
If you don't like Democracy and independent courts , then perhaps another country would be a better option .
We might be a country of many cultures , but we are Americans first , last and always . We live by " The American Creed " .
Don't try to change America into what you want it to be , change yourself and become American or leave and find yourself a place that fits your way of life better .
Let me say that the Causation People are a minority people .

Answer 10

Yes I 'm with you on that one. The blame is always on ethnic minorities it has always been that way . We are faced with that every day . Discrimination is what we have to live with on a daily bases . I understand where you are coming from !!!!

Answer 11

Everyone blames everyone else. Your very question seems to direct the blame away from ethnic minorities, no doubt towards "whitey", and blaming someone else thereby contradicting the entire context on which your statement is founded. It's a spurious argument when no one will ever take the responsibility for what they do, minority or not.
