I’ve occasionally mentioned on this blog the practice Mexican soccer fans have of chanting a homophobic slur at the opposing goalie when he takes a goal kick. Now I learn that this is done in Panama and Honduras as well. (The link is in a soccer publication that is behind a paywall, so I’m not bothering to include it.) FIFA, the international soccer organization, is trying to stamp this out in World Cup qualifying games by not allowing fans into the stadia during selected games. But I have to wonder why. When those of us opposed to the entry of Muslims into the West pointed out their homophobia as a reason to prevent their entry, we were sometimes told that it was their culture, so we shouldn’t be judging. When does something count as someone’s culture that we shouldn’t be judging as opposed to a practice we should be condemning and doing our best to wipe out? I presume our elites have no real answer to this question.
Anyway, my basic point is that those who favor open borders seem to think that these people are just like the Americans they hang around with, but they seem to have no evidence for believing this. They will denounce you as a racist if you don’t believe it, however.
