| Topic | Diversity Isn't "Being in the Room" - Its Whites Giving Up Their Seats |

When it hits the point that hate speech laws make people afraid to describe someone by their race, or to contact the police when a minority is acting suspicious for fear of being harassed for "racism". This is currently a problem in various parts of Europe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28967427 When it gets that bad, people stop outright associating with others for their own protection, and as a result they become even more divided. In extreme cases, such divisiveness can turn into vigilantism, with people saying "If we report this guy he'll get away with it and we'll get branded as racists, we need to take this into our own hands" and you have lynch mobs acting as judge, jury, and executioner. I'm aware that's a slippery slope (they themselves could be suffering confirmation bias) but people who feel the police are corrupt will eventually take matters into their own hands. Meanwhile, places that hardly bring up race or play identity politics don't have these kinds of issues. A place I worked at had people from all over Europe, but things started to get really ugly when "diversity" was being pushed, despite there being a smorgasboard of ethnicities there already having no problems. --- "GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
