    Gred, the way I think about culture is that is represents shared behavior among a group of people. These cultures are different in variety of ways, from work ethic norms to the way they resolve conflicts. If you have generous welfare in a culture with strong work ethic (this is a generalization) things tend to work out well. There exists social pressures for individuals to not misuse or rely on these handouts. If a different group of people are imported into this culture that do not share these reservations and fail to assimilate, that generous welfare will be abused without reservation. Your claim, is that this is the fault of the dominant culture that it's being racists.

    To be fair, most of UK cops do not have guns, and the ones that do have guns are highly trained and need to be authorized by a commander to deployed. And those cops are held to law to not use lethal force unless 100% necessary. From wikipedia relating to Armed Response Vehicles.

    United Kingdom law allows the use of "reasonable force" in order to make an arrest or prevent a crime[10][11] or to defend oneself.[12] However, if the force used is fatal, then the European Convention of Human Rights only allows "the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary".[13] Firearms officers may therefore only discharge their weapons "to stop an imminent threat to life"

    I could easily have said oh did you pull the race card? Does nothing for the conversation aside from stopping it.

    It's a different perspective on the outcomes. You say racism, I say it could very well be sociocultural temperament.

    It's still racism, just because yallqaeda and the kkk made it "normal" in a social context doesn't change the reality of it.next you'll post about how the prison system is not an expansion on slave labor in the USA, but really a criminal reform institute.

    It's not racism, it's just that some cultures are inherently shiftless and lazy.

    Ah the way I see it most people are shiftless and lazy, and there are cultures out there that tackle that issue directly and some don't.

    too much of a lazy cunt atm to cite Google but near every study done shows immigrants at least put more into the state financially than they take out as the tend to be more able-bodied than the general populace and the start-up costs of youth are borne by another polity. can't speak to later generations but for at least one the reality is more a lazy free-loading indigenous class is supported by hardworking exogenous groups than the inverse.

    Ah of course. The non-whites of America, who came here unwillingly and literally built the country or came here to do the shitty jobs no one else would and work themselves up, are definitely the lazy cultures of our society

    Sure, I can see that happening. Depending on what type of culture immigrates. For U.S, mexicans typically have a much better work ethic then ye average American. Or for example, Sweden that had to restructure itself quite a bit due to a bit of naivety and overzealous immigration policy because those migrants gamed the system.
