"It's counter productive" is the argument he's making. It's not why he's making the argument. A lot of people are making this grammar error. The headline isn't saying "What Stephen Fry is arguing"... it's stating "Why Stephen Fry is arguing"...

The phrase "because he feels it's counter-productive to achieving the goal of a more inclusive society", holds "and he wants a more inclusive society" implicitly. He even says that _explicitly_.
Or are you suggesting his motivations are something else? More to the point, who cares for the sake of the argument? Are you trolling?

I'm just irritated that people didn't read my original post, where I specifically laid out why I think he's making the argument. Everyone keeps replying with a misinterpretation of the headline as "the question why" rather than "why the question".
I remember it, and it was basically a warning of all the things that have happened in America. Thankfully we're always a little behind America here in Europe.
