Isn’t that a distinction without a difference?

To White people maybe. To Black people, there are huge differences between American Blacks and Somali Blacks. And to African Blacks (1st generation) there are well over 200 varieties of Blacks. All of them are somewhat hostile to each other. All of them are somewhat hostile to Whites too.

This is the wonder of Diversity. Everybody hates everybody else. In forced proximity this works poorly.

Oh the Protestants hate the Catholics

And the Catholics hate the Protestants

And the Hindus hate the Muslims

And everybody hates the Jews

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls!
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles;
The Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch.
(And *I* don’t like *anybody* very much!)

I still vividly remember seeing this performed on That Was The Week That Was as a kid and even then was amazed they “got away with it” on TV.
