The universities have become whores of the government and will produce whatever “scientific” results are required.

Tolerance is all a matter of viewpoint. When I was small and growing up in Minnesota, we considered tolerance to be Protestants and Catholics living in the same neighborhood, and occasionally a Jewish family in the mix. And we all got along. Then a few years ago, we were told that we were racists because no blacks lived in our city [which was not quite true, but there were relatively only a few families of blacks] - so that made us a racist city.

Now since Minnesota was settled by Yankees from New England, Germans, Scandinavians, Irish, French, Dutch, Luxembourgers - you can see that 19th century and 20th century mingling was mostly done by Europeans, and if someone expressed dissatisfaction with a group of people, we mostly ignored them and thought they were prejudiced - and that was the end of it. No whining or protesting that someone called me a name. Heck, I learned before Kindergarten that “Sticks and stones break my bones, but names will never hurt me.”

Sometimes I think that lots of people have never graduated from Kindergarden.
