You see target groups, and 'minorities'.
I just see - people.
Ah you bring tears to my eyes. I can hear the violins.
However, it seems to me that you lack a little honesty about your own motivations. i've seen you post numerous posts specifying a particular ethnic or religious group in a negative manner. You don't come across as seeing them as 'just people', you appear to be saying some groups are more prone to violent behaviours, don't take responsibility for their actions etc etc. You have said that Islam is a religion of violence. You are the one who uses blaming language. So you don't see them as 'just people' at all. Or at least that is not what your posts convey. I'll remember to point this out to you next time you do it, so for gods sake try a little reflection or thought before you post your one liners that sound quite mindless and meaningless.

It's my honesty which you can't seem capable of dealing with, that's your problem. Everyone starts out as 'folk', and then gets dumbed down by cultural / religious " group thought".
Some groups ARE more prone to violent behavior, and you act is if me saying it is some how unfair, or makes it untrue. Just look at the results, of what people have done, in the NAME of Islam, for example. It ain't pretty.
Reflection is fine, but you might want to open your eyes to the NOW, every once in a while.
And I'm sorry that quotes from Firefly / Serenity fly right over your head. I'm a fan of both, so sorry if that bothers you.

Culture and/or religion are part of what makes folk FOLK. Take that away, and I'm not sure you have folk anymore.
Take "being an American" away from AURaptor, and what is left?
Perhaps saying that all people are just folk necessarily implies that one has to be able to tolerate the differences between folk, whatever they might be.

Yeah, QED. It's hard to argue with someone who backflips more than a gymnist. Which one is it - are we all just individuals who are entirely responsible for our own actions or are we part of some larger culture than may influence our behaviour? Do you just see folk or do you define folk by their religion/class/ethnicity? At least be consistent because you make a statement and contradict it several posts later.

[sarcasm]OH well that would be RACIST, Byte, admitting that culture and religion can define who people are. [/sarcasm]

I am consistent, you're just not paying attention.
We all start out pretty much the same, but then get programmed by all sorts of group think.
Try and keep up, k ?

I don't think that's what that quote meant. I mean, in context it was about Mal accepting that the Alliance guys in Bushwhacked have to do their jobs and saying that he's no longer an Independent.
The group think doesn't change them from being just folk. So a different culture than ours doesn't stop being "just folk" because of their culture.

...I really need to rewatch if I'm messing up what quotes come from where.
Though the context about it being a comment to a representative of the Alliance about their job and him no longer being an Independent seems to be correct still.
