Interesting news can be trivial if they report oddities in the two-headed calf" class. However in case that the informations essentials keep reoccurring one is led to a discovery.

The term racists" is moving along an upwards curve of the sort we wish for our stocks to track. Racist" sells and if someone runs out of arguments or brings inconvenient facts that shred a favored theory then it is invoked with profit.
The overuse of the label converted into a baseball bat produces odd results. The case of the stateside coffee shop comes to mind that refuses to serve policemen. Discrimination? Not if the cops were low on pigments. What is a no-no in the case of one group is taboo for others. Ethics applied with prejudice one might say although we wonder who the place calls if held up. Alternatively could that also be prejudicial as hold-up" might create racist associations naturally only among bad people.
A similar case is an incident in which a bar in Berne Switzerland refused to admit a group of left-right-parliamentarians. The legislators were denied entry for one of them was prominent in the right wing of the countrys largest party. The right to select its customers should be granted to business. However if that would be the case then you could send away anyone who has the wrong color persuasion or life-style revealed by ordering the wrong kind of wedding cake.
Generally in the West this right is now denied to those that do not wish to associate with certain persons with a membership in a privileged minority. Anyhow the rejected solon did not protest although one is left wondering how the rule of voluntary association will be applied once this moments majority becomes a minority.
As things stand rights converted into privileges are already unequally enjoyed. Attribute that to the skewed application of once clear-cut principles. Such as the freedom of religion. That principle is becoming an instrument to whitewash an abuse that curtails the freedom of majorities. It happens once criminals can insist on being treated not as lawbreakers but as persons with a Muslim identity. Once that concession is made what is a crime in the host culture becomes a normal deed allowed by the Sharia tradition of the migrant. The examples range from child marriage to FGM. A murderer who as a defense told the police it was only a woman" expresses the matter.
The cowardice that saves officials from difficult actions is stunning. Here a beautiful example. Recently in a German school a girl harassed for having a Jewish-sounding name complained. The director advised her to wear a veil. Since then the kid outed as Jewish has been physically abused. Naturally not noticing saves one from a lot of unpleasantness and from the PC-crowds charge of racism. On March 4 a person" was charged with the random killing of several whites. Officially the question had been raised whether the crimes might have had a racial component.
PC-dictated impartiality can produce hard-to-believe outgrowths. Not long ago a daring paper reported that a Pakistani has been put in charge of Swedens National Heritage institute. The man has studied Sociology worked in an office promoting integration and wrote about diversity". He has no idea about Vikings medieval churches and folklore as he has by his own admission never read a book about such matters. The Basler Zeitung concludes that anyone who makes such an appointment suffers from a cultural death-wish".
In fact a community can possess collective decency even if its stated goals go beyond the attempt to validate abstract principles because primarily it wishes to have its way of life survive. The term survival" is not lightly used.
One generally perceived problem with migrants is beyond their numbers and lacking qualifications that results in welfare dependence that they are inclined to use violence to get what they want. No surprise. In Islams global success violence played a decisive role. The faith and its state have scored in wars. The decline of Islams power came when it disconnected from the modern world. Experience expressed by tradition has a consequence that prevents not only integration but that also hinders the acceptance of the hosts ways and his right to live according to them.
Muslim crime and violence against sanctuary-providing societies has an interesting and ignored explanation. The complaint about ingratitude" is at least on a certain level misplaced. After Muslim conquest the subjugated were allowed to exist if they submitted to their new inferior status and paid a -mafia-style- tax for the protection" from those that imposed the dues. Many among the largely illegal migrants in developed countries tend to see the welfare provided by the unbelievers as the modern equivalent of the protection tax of yesteryear.
What appears to be an abuse is legitimate in the eyes of those that reject the ways and the laws of an order created by persons seen as inferior. This creates tensions. Yet for the representatives of a higher order through their membership in the right faith the wrong" is merely an assertion of rights and not a crime. Knee-jerk natives reinforce this impression.
That encourages abuses such as the reported case of a man with 4 wives and 26 children. The happy couple is said to get monthly 30 thousand ($35000). Equally stunning is the case of a person that got protection with one wife then imported a second one that was 13 at the time of the (illegal) marriage. (He is said to want to expand his family by adding two more wives.) Welfare" pays for two flats for the growing families of the illiterate chieftain. One hopes that all are content unlike a Senegalese housed in Italy. Dissatisfied with the internet access provided he beat up an employee of his government provided lodging.
Europes response to privilege extorted by violence is even inferior to Californias praxis. In Germany the Greens and the Reds proposed that in response to the protest against Muslim migrants their chants should be included in publicly presented Christmas carols. One is made to ponder whether next year the Left might find that Christmas songs offend their clients and desecrate the newly included Muslim chants. Will the solution be to scratch Christian Christmas carols -along with ham and whatever else that might not be halal? When will eating Schweinsbraten (roast pork) be proclaimed as racist?
The conclusion might be that PC-defined progressive social policy is when you cooperate with the most violent and assertive organized group on the scene. In that light it appears that for a change Merkel even if not consistently entirely candid was at least accurate when she comfortingly assured her subjects that influenced by migrants Germany will change fundamentally.
