Current Events > Why are minorities in the US more progressive than the white majority?

(+) Yeah! (+)

In the UK, the white people are the most progressive. In the UK our Hindu community are more conservative and vote for the Tories (our centre right party). Pakistani's are socially conservative but vote labour (centre left). The Polish, our biggest minority, also tend to bring a more Eastern European brand of conservatism. Only our Black community, which is small, is as progressive as the white majority.


In the US, even Hindus and Muslims seems to be LGBT friendly. All the corrosive conservativism seems to come from the whites.

I don't think they actually are.

Religiosity is more prevalent in Hispanic and black communities.

Homosexuality has traditionally been frowned upon in the black community as well :\ I don't know if that's shifting at all but it was pretty heavily hated on in music in the 90s and early 2000s.

Has tc ever listened to rap ever?

The Black community in general frowns upon homosexuality and very much discriminates against women as well.

The most homophobic demographic in the US is definitely not white people. Racial minorities in the US often vote democrat because they're the party of big government/government benefits.

I don't hear about any black Kim Davis. None of the Westborough idiots were black. There isn't a black equivalent of Ray Comfort or Pat Robertson.

I can only gleam from what I see in the media. And all the idiots always seems to be white.

You can be religious and progressive. Seems only the whites are dogmatic in its social conservatism.

So what you're saying is you don't actually watch/browse any legitimate news shows/sites then.

You have not been paying attention, but I suspect you started this thread with an agenda.

Btw, Westboro is a bad example. There are probably less than 70 members currently. That's in a population of more than 300 million. Westboro is also widely considered a joke of a group that is only relevant when they win lawsuits and when they are referenced inaccurately as being remotely comparable to actual violent groups.
