It's not ignorance. . .it's tribalism. Tribalism is natural in many instances.
A multiracial/multicultural society is doomed to fail. The different races are just that. . . different. And larger groups of different races that try to live peacefully together in the same land/country will eventually find themselves at odds culturally with one another which brings division and conflict. That doesn't mean you have to strive to have a pure one race society, but you need a majority/dominate culture of the same race where any minority freely and willingly living in that country adheres, accepts, appreciates, admires, etc. the norms, customs, language, traditions, culture, history, laws, etc. of the majority.
Call me a racist but that's the truth.

@papasmurf555 . . .not a bigot at all. Just came to the conclusion that a multiracial/multicultural society is doomed to fail. Actually, I sort of think it was done on purpose with the radical 1960's and the 1965 Immigration Act, but that a much longer conversation that stems from earlier politics.
I also don't believe in the pursuit of a pure one race society. But you need to have a dominate/majority of one race/culture where any minority living within that country adheres, accepts, appreciates, admires, etc. the customs, norms, traditions, language, culture, history, laws, etc. of the majority. And that minority must stay a minority. Larger groups of different races trying to live peacefully in the same area, land, country, etc. will eventually be at odds with one another and only will result in division and conflict.
China has almost 1.5 Billion people. If 300,000 million Chinese were to emigrate to Nigeria, would Nigeria be Nigerian? NO. Of course not. And Nigeria would not let that happen. Now it's up to you to figure out why mostly/only white countries have been duped into this mass immigration into their countries.

@phill7507 . . . maybe your situation is a little unique in that you were in the military. I'm just wondering though, even if you keep in touch with your friends from the military, did you and those friends find yourselves as you got older associating more and more with members of your own race? That seems to be common as people age.
Also, there is a certain % of people that can bridge the racial divide, but most can't. And differences in individual traits can be overlooked by common courtesy, manners, more in common than less, same interests, upbringing, etc. But that changes when larger groups come into play. We've all seen it. A "friend of color" that seems to change ever so slightly when they are around larger groups of people from their "tribe". Some do it out of courtesy to their own tribe, and others do it because that is who they are and they truly feel more comfortable around others of their own race. The Group Identity eventually trumps the traits of the individual.
I consider Candace Owens a person that has no problem being around white people as her own qualities and characteristics seem to be aligned more with white people. If you listen to what many black people tell you, you'll hear them admit they are different. "Capitalism is a white persons system" , and many other examples. Did you ever think that maybe they're right or telling the truth? Hence the reason why black Conservatives can more easily associate with white people. The don't seem to have a chip on their shoulder. I have a Mexican friend (I guess we call them Hispanics now) from high school. He almost exclusively hung out with white friends. And we had a decent % of Mexicans in our school. We all got along, but most of the Mexicans tended to be more social and friends with other Mexicans. Except our one Mexican friend. He almost strictly hung out with his white friends. He was in the military also for 20+ years. Just moved into my neighborhood about 5 years ago after retiring from the military. Saw him last night actually. Trying to plan a golf/fishing getaway weekend with our friends.
First you need to figure out who "the media" is and all the problems some of them seem to cause. Plus, if there were no inherent differences and race was truly just a color, the media wouldn't try to divide us by race. But they know race is a big factor in a persons identity so they can divide us. But beyond that, the world has always tended to self-segregate by race and ethnicity. Our cities self-segregate, neighborhoods, churches, etc. Even in many large European cities they have distinct racial neighborhoods. Please name a multiracial society that has successfully integrated for any extended period of time? Some say the Roman Empire was a good example, but in reality the Roman Empire was an Empire of many distinct nations. You can read up on that if you want.
Also, if a multiracial society can work and is so great, why is it that no "countries of color" seem to partake in this experiment? If you look at the citizenship and immigration laws of other countries of color, you'll find that many of their laws directly and indirectly are structured to keep their racial majority the same. Such as, "you can become a citizen of X country if your grandparents are from X country and that they have lived there for 10 or more years". If diversity and multiculturalism is so great why aren't so many other countries of color participating.
Think about this. If diversity is a strength, why hasn't it just happened naturally. Why are we still arguing about race? It seems that if we value diversity, we wouldn't be pushing to have all these different races live/mix together as it will lead to less diversity.
Gotta go.

@papasmurf555 . . . what about Hispanics with Spanish Ancestry? Will they ever be held accountable for their ancestors sins in Colonialism and Slavery?
Should we blame Chinese Americans for the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Why not. . .aren't they also Asian? So why do we blame all white people for the sins of the English, Spanish, and French?
What did a white Polish American ever do to be labeled a racist with inherent bias? What about a white German American, or Hungarian, or Swedish, Irish, etc. Why aren't those white people considered an immigrant just like an Indian, Arab, Asian, etc. that emigrated to the United States during the late 1800's/early 1900s?
Actually, many white immigrants that came here in the early 1900's were shipped off to war to fight against their own relatives in WWI and WWII. And what's even more ironic is that you had Polish, German, Austrian, Irish, etc. immigrants going to war against their own family members many times. And our allies were the English & French. . . 2 global imperialist original colonizers of North America and other parts of the world. How f(&^(*^d up is that? And you want to cast blame on all white people and pull this systemic racism, inherent bias, white guilt, etc. crap?
