Many, huh? This is exactly the problem we have now, statements and thoughts like that. Same as you mentioned 'Einzelfallmap'. It's creating the thought that refugees are violent. Very dangerous to assume entire groups are bad.

If collecting and republishing newspaper articles and police reports is against the law, we really are in trouble.

It doesn't matter what conclusions people draw from this. There's simply nothing illegal about it.

There is nothing illegal, it's just idiotic behavior. What's the point? Oh, not 100% of people that flee conflict are good people? Uh, congrats? There are bad people in every group, this should be common sense, and if you are working so hard to 'prove' that some refugees are bad, you are the bad person.

By generalizing "leftists", you sound like a right-winger who has problems with anything left of your own political views. I'm sure you'll explain how you're in fact a moderate as defense.

In my experience, most left people are like this. Even those who consider themselves moderate. The same people who do not differentiate when talking about the right wing.

The sheer irony of accusing the other side of not differentiating while trying to lump all of us into one group.

Maybe you should take a look in the mirror - this is not the first of your comments I've seen that fall in this trap of accusing everyone else of something you're demonstrating yourself.

I'm really glad the people who call everyone racist who doesn't agree with them are now getting a taste of their own medicine. I should be fighting for their rights, too, but at this point... fuck it.

So you can't stand people calling others racist for not being accepting, but it's OK to stereotype refugees? It's a contradiction.

"Stereotyping" is an excellent scare word to dismiss those who present factual data of average rates of N and tendencies to M across demographic groups.

No, the problem with it is that the people who often like to use Statistics in this way use it selectively. If you want to argue that, I can easily argue that Trump supporters and conservatives are far more likely to be racist. Curiously, those same people will dispute that.

Additionally, stats are subject to bias, and can be manipulated very easily to scare people.

Regardless, it's moronic to just assume someone is bad or evil, and really reflects more on you as a person.

I think you told more about yourself than the person you tried to judge.
