I am not racist: I don't care about the colour of your skin or who your parents were, but I am culturist. I object very strongly to cultures which maintain that women should be kept at home unless they have a male escort, cultures that do not allow women to own property or to control property that they nominally own, and cultures that force women into marriages with older cousins as young teenagers.
And to cultures that practice slavery. Yes, it still happens--possibly more now than in the 19th Century, given that the world's population has grown so much since then.
Humans are not homogeneous interchangeable units. Immigrants come with their home culture attached, and some cultures we most definitely do not want to import.

"Doubt something everyone knows is true"
I love that!
Following data oriented folks has made me more skeptical of 'facts' people like to throw out.
