I'm not trying to claim anything. I am trying to establish (as I have stated at least 3 times now) what you meant by 'always'. I asked a question. That's all.
Wilful misunderstanding is pretty poor as a debating tactic. I know you're more intelligent than this and I am having a hard time accepting you didn't understand my first post, the first time you read it.

If you want to talk about hate crimes in society, start another thread.

If you honestly don't instinctively see the wider context of the discussion at hand I'm not about to waste my time trying to explain it for you. However, once again I'm not going along with this. You fully understand the wider implications of Boyle's comments and the response to them, but you prefer not to engage with those implications. Well, fine, ignore that strand of the discussion if you choose.

A typo. It should read populace. I.e. a part of a population, be it ethnic minority or otherwise.

Interest groups are constantly lobbying for their view to be acknowledged and legislated for. Why do you find it astonishing when there are so many real-world examples? The recent controversy over Catholic adoption agencies and whether they were allowed to refuse to place children with homosexual couples is a good example of one 'community's' outlook being legislated for at the expense of an (arguably larger) one.
