Corralling society

I am watching a game of women's soccer Norway v Spain. The  women from Norway are clearly Norwegian, blond hair, fair skin, stocky build. Their opponents from Spain equally recognisable coming from the Iberian Peninsular their dark hair and olive skin, the aquiline nose and slight body. These are the characteristics of a race, of interbreeding, the development over millennium. Since relatively recently, 70 years, there has been a racial mixing unheard of prior to the Second World War and the result has made a mockery of our stereotypical past.
In the need to both welcome strangers into the tribal mix, sometimes for purely economic reasons the definitions, which I use to describe the two European tribes or nations is no longer acceptable because newcomers have to be included. The use of stereotyping is frowned upon, it doesn't fit the purpose which is to homogenise society and make it forget its origins. Compatibility is a requisite for social harmony and the more we integrate without reflecting on what our eyes tell us the better the community will perform.
But of course, as I have mentioned in previous blogs, our minds are made up of millions of images gathered from birth. These images are linked to the stereotyping which our backgrounds have developed, different background different stereotype. The race laws, phobic laws, even health and safety laws are there to corral us into a different direction no matter how uncomfortable. We are constantly assuaged and made to feel that our old ideas are wrong, out of tune with modern thinking.
These thoughts don't disappear they don't melt away under the heat of a campaign they sit and ponder the new, they try to come to terms with what the new "ism" is all about and under pressure they bubble and bubble away.

I find it strange that only in Western countries are these pressures applied to the people. Countries in Africa, and Asia continue in the way their forefathers have, the teachings and the beliefs are largely in place.  

 No "Political Correctness" for them !!
