It's true that people here are quite ignorant about Texas. With such a rich mixture of different cultures I'd say that Texas is a far more tolerant place than the vast areas of the U.K where the majority is overwhelmingly white.

Hurrah for non sequiturs!

Not really...you did post this:

What about it?

vamos's post is a logical fallacy. Somehow Texas must be more tolerant than the UK because there are more minorities? How so exactly? Plus for the "large areas of the UK that are white" there are also major urban areas (i.e. cities) which are extremely culturally diverse.

Or do you simply not know what a non sequitur is?

Yes, I do know what a non sequitur is...we do have schools in America too.

Do you know what argumentum ad hominem means?

I do not agree that vamos's post is a logical fallacy; it's kind of arrogant to say that it's illogical just because you disagree with it. It's perfectly logical that when people grow up in culturally diverse areas, they are more used to people of different creeds/cultures and are therefore more tolerant of them. You yourself accepted the logic of the argument when you defended the UK by pointing out that its larger cities are "extremely" culturally diverse.
