I mean will races ever truly be able to integrate or is there a point at which it becomes an uneasy integration that will never become truly color blind? I'm dubious that people with different skin colors or severe culture differences will ever be able to really set aside their differences to marry without issues. It's just so set in our instincts to maintain delineations.

I much prefer the melting pot approach to multiculturalism.
The latter is naive and leads to a multitude of problems.
I'm very much for immigration, but I think it should be controlled.
I don't give a **** about skin colour and think the so-called races should mix like crazy but I am very sceptical about a strong influx from people from conservative patriarchal cultures (who also embrace those cultural values) into more liberal countries. My experiences as an immigrant from the former to the latter might be playing a role.

Hitler was not a socialist. Saying he was one is stupid.

I find it funny that socialists seem to be the ones to deny that Hitler was a socialist. The nazi party literally meant: National Socialist German Workers' Party

Dismissing ideas from the other end of your spectrum only serves to solidify ignorance.

So the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic?

It was propaganda because socialism was popular and the Nazis wanted to attract the working class. It meant nothing.

Please explain how the Nazis were socialists.

And yeah there were Nazis with socialist bents, but those guys tended to be murdered in the early 30s.

It's tantamount to the liberals who call conservatives racist, when it was the Democrats who pushed soooo hard to keep slavery.
