Remember Fishrrman's dialectic:
You may not be interested in the politics of ethnicity, identity, and race.

You must "work your way through the dialectic" and arrive at the correct conclusion, for the following reason, courtesy of Ayn Rand:
"We can evade reality. What we CANNOT evade are the consequences of evading reality".
