That was a bad example. Discussing immigration is not my point.

Have you ever been in a discussion where someone is clearly the outlier and it's accepted beyond reasonable doubt that his ideas are extreme?

Another example, imagine you're discussing religion acceptance and a extremist say whoever doesn't follow his religion should die since their are infidels. How do you avoid that completely stupid idea from dominating everything?

Outliers are always wrong, and groupthink is always right?
I wasn't expecting this thread to be a troll magnet but now it seems obvious.

Perhaps I shouldn't have given any examples, as it seems I have only drawn the attention of those who care about the examples and not my underlying point.

You're about fourteen years old, am I right?
