Castanea: I am against media promoting multiculturalism. But facts about news, that cannot be disbuted are fine. This Lebanon issue is a matter of history. Advertisements and education promoting this false ideal of diversity are wrong. And I have met many non-whites. This hasn't changed anything. I used to live in a big city for 11 years. I know diversity and I hate it. "News" and "history" have always been disputable. The coverage of a news event will differ based on the biases of those delivering the news. Fox News vs Al Jazeera, White vs Black, Russian vs Polish. They can cover the same thing but present totally different stories.
For example:
Castanea: Every heard of a place called Lebanon? Lebanon was a christian nation formed from the Ottoman empire. Muslim immigration cause it to become a muslim country under Arab majority rule. There was a massacre of over 300000 christians. There are several problems with the story you're presenting. I'm guessing based on the number of deaths you are referring to the Lebanese Civil War. If that's the case you are misrepresenting the number of Christians killed. The number of dead approached 300000 but that was both Christian and Muslim dead. The Phalange committed their own atrocities against Muslim civilians before and during the war so it's hardly fair to blame Muslims alone. Additionally, the numbers cited include civilian casualties during the Israeli invasion of Southern Lebanon. I'm not an expert in the field or anything but I think you're sources are either misinformed or simply biased and intending to mislead.
*sigh* Why can't the "Poland Relationships" threads just be about relationships. Aren't the other forum units more suitable for this sort of conversation?
