Is ethnic conflict inevitable?
We live in this multicultural "diverse" society where many different cultures and ethnicities cohabitate. But can we really live peacefully? Is ethnic conflict inevitable? Not just between blacks and whites, but any group.

HISTORY says that you cannot TRUST the WHITEMAN, so the ANSWER is no.

Because there will always be enough people who do not welcome multi-ethnic meshing to make it possible.

It is like criminality. It will always be there, but you still have to fight it, because the alternative is for it to grow unchecked. You cut it in the bud each time it rears its uglyhead.

Interesting topic!! You know what, the world we live in has really forced me to look at things like this. I'm sure we've all been taught (to SOME extent) to respect the next man/woman as you you would have them respect you. However, if you look at this world, there's so many people who are born/bred to hate others simply because they don't believe in what they believe.

It is part of nature for people toform in-groups and out groups. You just have to make sure they don't get too extreme.

i agree, some people raise thier kids on hate which is then passed down to future generations...ethnic groups are so diverse in thier beliefs and norms that some groups dont understand other groups which can cause conflicts...i think it is possible to minimize ethnic conflict by learning about other ethnic groups but i dont think it can ever fully be stopped
