Hold me /pol/, I just had an argument with my Bernout coworker.
>Pass a mosque on the way back from work
>He knows I'm pretty prejudiced, asks me why I get so angry with Muslims
>Tell him that the Islamic culture and American culture simply do not mix, as Islam's centrists make our conservatives look like liberals
>We start talking about economics
>"We don't make $250k a year, so his taxes wouldn't effect us."
>Mention the Clinton administration and their alleviation of credit to the middle and lower class helped contributed to the housing bubble and the economic recession
>Also mention that it may not effect us now, but it would in the long run as the upper class leave the country
>Immigration is brought up, "Our parents were immigrants, this entire country is founded on immigration."
>I go on a tirade that immigration is perfectly fine, but the issue is illegal documentation and the theft of benefits (something neither of our ancestors had, Polish descent first generation worked in the docks for thirty years before second gen was adopted into the auto industry)
>"Oh speaking of theft-"
>"I dare you to mention the native Americans. 80% of them were wiped out by biological pathogens introduced by accident, which Americans treated and tried to help cure."
>"Bullshit, we gave them blankets of smallpox."
>Mention French frontiersmen gave the Iroquois tribes smallpox-laced blankets because they refused to trade
>Mention most of the Midwest was owned by the French, and sold to us by Napoleon long before we influenced them through manifest destiny
>"We're done talking."
I think I fucked up.
Help me /pol/.
