Because there have been many highly publicized incidents of immigrant crime, up to and including violent riots and terrorism. The big problem is that immigrants tend to set up enclaves where they only associate with each other. They refuse to adopt the host nation's culture or values, and yet for some reason they act surprised and angry when they can't find jobs or get excluded from mainstream society. It's kind of baffling, TBH. And yet Europeans have clung to a policy of multiculturalism for decades before coming to the not-so-startling realization that it doesn't work.

Nobody thinks ALL immigrants are dangerous, but if you ever visit Europe you will quickly notice that there are large ghettos of African and Middle Eastern refugees that are full of gangs and violence. Even the well-off immigrants will often send their kids to madrassa in the home country and do everything they can to prevent them from being "contaminated" with the host nation's culture. Then you get stuff like the 2005 riots in France. It is a very real problem.

Or better yet, maybe you should take a trip to somewhere like the Balkans. Do you realize that Middle Eastern "charities" set up mosques where they pay poor people to adopt strict Islamic lifestyles? I mean, literal bribery. They get funding from Middle Eastern governments for the express purpose of spreading Islam in European countries. And, of course, these organizations also serve as fronts for jihadist recruitment. Try living in Kosovo or somewhere like that, where people are literally beaten in the street over whether they support or oppose jihadist Islam, and you might come away with a different perspective.

They consistently give more "weight" to the character that has the greater variety of different abilities.

Yep. That's what I cannot comprehend about kids nowadays. I mean, when I was a kid I remembered reading about that kind of thing in the newspaper and being confused as to how that sort of behavior was even possible. Now my Mom is a teacher and she has to deal with violent, disruptive students. At one point she had a six-year old threaten to kill her. (Last I heard, the student and his parent had a very unpleasant conversation with the local police officer, and the mom ended up quitting her job so she could try to work with him full time.)

When I was in school, the worst disrespect I ever saw was a kid who just quit. We were required to pass a Speech class in order to graduate High School. There was this one kid who didn't give a damn and never had. When his turn came to give his presentation to the class, he refused. The teacher very calmly and patiently explained that if he didn't do the presentation, he would not pass the class and that meant he wouldn't graduate. He didn't care. That was the last year I saw that kid in school. I have no idea what happened to him, but good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.

To this day, that mentality still baffles me. The very notion that disrespecting teachers is okay, or that you are just allowed to quit because you don't like something, is a worldview that I find utterly alien. Personally, I say fuck the little shits. Kick them out and never let them come back.
