With all the talk of how European countries are so ‘enlightened’ these days with regards to just about everything; race, religion, sexuality, drugs and on and on, I would never have expected this type of thing from the EU. Especially in light of how some are saying that the term ‘race’ is an outdated term that doesn’t really apply to groups of people in the traditional sense (i.e. Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, Arabs etc).
The EU comes out now with an idea that should send chills through the spine of any thinking person. The EU wants to classify people based on their race. That’s correct, the European Union is moving to direct member states to collect race information on all of their citizens, and pass that onto Brussels.
People who have knowledge of history, may be worried (and rightfully so) that this kind of thing cannot lead to any good whatsoever. Will Jews’ passports soon be stamped with a “J”? Will the passports of Muslims be emblazoned with an “I”? When something happens in the EU, will ’rounding up the usual suspects’ simply mean folks of a specific race?
All of this and more is certainly not only possible, but probable if the EU follows through with this directive.
