He's written to be a person.
Norman Lear can think what he wants, he can tell a reporter...anything, true or not. Norman Lear obviously didn't know the average American. He was wrong.
There is a REASON why most Americans are "bigots". They drive down the street, they see what "diversity" has wrought upon neighborhoods. They see what "diversity" has done to schools. They see what "diversity" has done to their workplace. They see what diversity had done to our culture, society, welfare roles.
Tell me why we're wrong to not want this to happen to us? Our neighborhood turned from wonderful to woeful? Our school turned from #1 to #17? Our workload increases because of the dead wood EEO laws create with affirmative action and quotas? Why we're wrong to be against the "ethnicization" of our culture, society? Against the number on the roles ever going up? Against the nonconformity?
You ask a lot from us.
