Overcoming Prejudice

One cannot point out the consequences of differing fertility rates without being called a racist, even though the beloved word ‘equality’ should also mean that all people, black and white, ought to be able to give birth to an equal number of children. Yet despite having white privilege, white people are unable to produce more children than supposedly oppressed minorities living in majority white countries.

I would like to discuss lessons learned from immigration, but before I can do so, I must point out that in many Western countries there are three often unspoken, yet fundamental prejudices which have stifled the immigration debate.

The first fundamental prejudice is that, supposedly, all social stereotypes we hold of others don’t correspond to any real differences. We discriminate others for having a different skin tone, cultural background, dialect or clothing style, but for nothing substantive. It is a red herring argument. Most, if not all prejudice stems from other people’s behaviors, not from differences in their appearance. It explains why white people from northern American states often discriminated white rednecks from southern states. Race was never the issue.

The second fundamental prejudice relates to the fact that whenever we hear the word ‘prejudice’, we immediately think of what members of a majority hold of the Other. But how exactly does the Other feel about us? How much prejudice comes from minorities? The third and final fundamental prejudice is that we remain silent about the prejudices we hold of ourselves. Are today’s white people, mostly descendants of serfs, farmers and industrial workers, really guilty of colonialism and slavery, and should ‘we’ therefore pay the price for ‘our’ crimes by flooding Europe with Third World population surpluses? One’s own feelings of guilt and shame are prejudices, too.

If we would allow ourselves to openly discuss these fundamental prejudices, the following is what might happen. We might realize that we cannot naturally coexist with people who behave too differently from us. Polygamy, child marriage, full body veils or female circumcision, among others, are unwelcome behaviors in the West. We have the right to expel people who sabotage our societies. If we would hold minorities accountable for their own prejudices, it would become clear that many suffer a vitriolic hatred of white people.

In short, we would realize that many of our feelings of guilt and shame are unfounded. We would come to the conclusion that most of the so-called prejudices others accuse us of holding against them are perfectly justifiable.
