Where's The Love?

In what has been described as an "extraordinary poll (that) reveals some unflattering realities that exist in America today", it seems that the three largest minorities in the US--Black, Latino and Asian--pretty much hate each others' guts:

Blacks, Hispanics and Asians -- have little trust for each other and hold prejudiced views about Americans of different ethnic origins to their own, a poll showed Wednesday.

Forty-four percent of Hispanics and 47 percent of Asians are "afraid of African-Americans because they are responsible for most of the crime," the survey of 1,105 adults drawn from the three ethnic groups showed.

More than half of black Americans polled and 46 percent of Hispanics said Asian business owners do not treat them with respect.

And half of African-Americans said Latin American immigrants "are taking jobs, housing and political power away from the black community."

All the ladies in my sewing circle were shocked when we read this today. A few of the ladies were appalled. One was aghast. As for me, I still think that the white devils took this poll and lied about the results. I mean, how can you explain this nonsense:

All three ethnic groups viewed white Americans in a more favorable light than they did members of another minority.

Sixty-one percent of Hispanics, 54 percent of Asians and 47 percent of African-Americans said they would rather do business with whites than members of the other two groups.

Whu?!! How can that be? Everyone knows that whitey is responsible for all the hardships on the poor oppressed minorities. If that isn't proof that whitey skewed the poll results, then nothing will make you believe otherwise.

Isn't there anything we can all agree on?

The three minority groups did agree that the United States would be a better place if blacks, Asians and Hispanics held more authoritative positions at universities, in business, media and government.

Finally some sense out of this warped poll. If only the groups that hate each other and don't trust each other could just have more power, the world would be a better place for all.
