> What if, for whatever reason, ethnic group A subsidizes B's existence?

If we were to divide up the country into the subsidizers and the subsidized (whatever that means), why must we pick ethnicity as the dividing feature?

Or, to put the question differently, if America were ethnically homogeneous, would it follow that there wouldn't be a taker/maker split to "damage social cohesion"?

To give an example of a different dividing criterion, how about the disparity between federal tax revenue and federal spending per state? Taxpayers in "red" states get a 4.0 percentage point better return on investment in federal taxes than "blue" states [0]. If one were to accept your claim that "identifiable groups with different socioeconomic contributions" (a condition states surely satisfy!) make welfare impossible, one would have to conclude that the American welfare state is broken because it has states!

Human behavior is largely heritable. Ethnic groups represent groupings of heredity.

(Look: I know the first sentence is one of those things you just can't say. Nobody wants to admit to believing it. But it's true. Instead of raking me over the coals for saying something that is true and unpleasant, how about we find a way of grappling in a fair, humane way with reality?)

Evidently you can, as you've said it here.

You alt-righty folk seem to mistake "something you just can't say" for "something you just can't _defend_".

But yes, let us try to find a "humane" way to make America an ethnically homogeneous country. A kind of cleansing, shall we say? Once everyone has the same ethnicity, they will all behave the same. Science vult!

We can't make America a homogeneous country. What we can do is stop demonizing successful groups and blaming them for social disparities. You're not going to make any progress so long as your discussion is limited to blaming white men for everything.
