Came across this news article, in which some random bishop is quoted as saying:
"Multiculturalism is stirring up lots of problems. This should be a country that is tolerant of other cultures but they should be minority cultures and not equal. To expect every religion to be equal to Christainity [sic] is dangerous.
"It stirs up resentment between many people and can lead to extreme political parties and far right movements which I don’t agree with."
Wait…what? Allowing people to be equal leads to groups like the BNP existing? So, to get rid of the BNP, all we have to do is make sure that white, heterosexual, Christian males have all the power, and everybody else is inferior to them. In other words, to get rid of the BNP we need to do exactly what they want.
Bloody hell. For your own sake, please, think before you speak.
(He does, of course, have a point. If white, heterosexual, Christian males had all the power, then the BNP wouldn’t have any need to exist, so in a sense, treating everybody as equal does lead to extreme far-right groups existing. However, the solution to that is to get rid of the extreme far-righters, not the equality. So, I’ll just point out that I think this bishop is an arsehole and be done with it. Hey, I bet that if the USA hadn’t abolished slavery, the KKK would never have existed either.)
