    humans also invented socialism, communism, fascism, monarchy, democracy so on and so fourth.

    like, you can’t just take the worst and be like “you see this is why we need to get rid of them!”. its literally the point of the post. thats what is going on right now in the US with literally any person below the top square on the family guy race card. Would you say just because less than 1% of immigrants that are in the US have committed violent crimes, that all of them are violent criminals? If you do, I have bad news for you.

    Famous screenshot from Family Guy episode "Are You There God? It's Me, Peter (Season: 16 Episode: 20). The screenshot depicts Peter in his car wearing stereotypical Muslim garb, while being stopped at a bridge checkpoint. The guard at the checkpoint who is not in frame is holding a card which is in frame that showcases 6 race "color squares". The lightest 3 are separated into the "Okay" category on top, the darkest 3 are separated into the "Not okay" category on the bottom.

      on the other hand when a virus like flu or covid replicates, it produces thousands of its variants but it is only defined by the one that causes the most damage

        That metaphor doesn’t work. It be more accurate to compare humans to in general bacteria and most bacteria are not harmful, there are even some know useful viruses

        Right… so less than 1% of immigrants being violent criminals, makes them equivalent to a virus?

        I mean sure. yeah. You have an opinion. I won’t be continuing this conversation.
