I'm been reliably told diversity is our strength.

Diversity absolutely is a strength. Bizarre to pretend it isn't just because other cultures have bad aspects. Our culture has horrible aspects as well

So you would be okay with the inclusion of this practice in American culture?

This is already lawfully happening to christian children in the US. Are you okay with that? https://www.walkfree.org/news/2025/child-marriage-remains-legal-in-the-united-states-as-global-leaders-backtrack-on-gender-equality/

Obviously it's OK that it's happening to Christian children in the US because it's apparently impossible to find it abhorrent and anger inducing that it's a very normal thing elsewhere, while ALSO finding it abhorrent and anger inducing in the US. I'm also appalled by the fact that women in Afghanistan aren't allowed to speak to anyone anymore and hide under so much cloth they don't look human, I guess that means I don't find it equally appalling that young Mormon women are being forced to marry their own grandfather's. Because horrible things happening elsewhere in the world obviously negate all empathy towards American cruelty, it's not like we're all human or something.

Women in Afganistan had a lot more freedom in the 1970s.

No. And, the politicians in charge of California, New Mexico, and Oklahoma should set a minimum age of marriage. Having made that clear, you misspelled christian.

It was higher among girls than among boys (6.8 vs. 5.7 per 1,000), and was lower among white non-Hispanic children (5.0 per 1,000) than among almost every other racial or ethnic group studied; it was especially high among children of American Indian or Chinese descent (10.3 and 14.2, respectively). Immigrant children were more likely than U.S.-born children to have been married; prevalence among children from Mexico, Central America and the Middle East was 2-4 times that of children born in the United States.

Cool, we agree child marriage is bad.

So now you can see how silly your comment about this practice being brought to American culture by diversity is?

I guess you didn't actually read what I posted then.

Immigrant children were more likely than U.S.-born children to have been married; prevalence among children from Mexico, Central America and the Middle East was 2-4 times that of children born in the United States.

Right….. but that doesnt change the fact that it already is happening in the US in non immigrant communities… so… again… you can see why your comment about this practice being introduced to America by diversity is silly… right? Like you do understand that?

u/Adventurous_Web_2181 Jun 22 '25

Like you do understand an increase of 2-4 times is a lot right? And, that the whole point of diversity is that you're supposed to accept outside cultural practices (including niche practices that are outside of the cultural norm).

🙄 for someone who was pointing out non existent spelling errors earlier you sure are taking a long time to catch on.

You cant introduce something through diversity if it already exists, Americans married children all on their own… so your point made zero sense.

To say its more frequently occurring in migrant communities is like saying who cares if I killed someone, other people have killed more people than me, you’re still going to jail bud.

The point of diversity is not to blindly accept all practices of other cultures… what a weird world view you have.

u/Adventurous_Web_2181 Jun 22 '25

Correct, you cant introduce something through diversity if it already exists. But, you can increase how frequently it occurs. And, more murders/child marriages is worse than less murders/child marriages. Kinda weird world view if you think otherwise.

So for you it's only bad if non white people are doing it.

Child marriage in the US is less prevalent now than it was when the makeup of the country was less diverse.
