The entire narrative pushed on boomers was “magic soil” and “all cultures are equal”. While it’s true that minorities can assimilate (see Sowell, Elder, etc) it is always a minority of the population. It’s also the greatest lie pushed on a generation, the harsh truth is the majority will always be race/ tribe first. We benefited from those willing to assimilate and allowed the majority who wouldn’t. This has cascaded into a free fall of the Overton Window where it always shifts left as long as there is money to spend and people to import. The next decade will see the collapse of Americana in full, I don’t blame the minority that assimilated versus the rampant ideology of “multiculturalism” that is pushed. The problem is no matter how we vote America the “great experiment” is gone. We are currently in the death of the empire and there’s no party willing to change the status quo. What matters is if there’s a nation worthy of saving. This is nothing new to anyone here, but still something that must be discussed for the generations after us.

OP thinks the foundational myth is race equality. I said the boomers were normal racists in the 60s.
If there’s a foundational myth it’s “Allies good Axis bad.”
But occums razor: maybe boomers are just dumb
They clearly weren't normal racists if they were growing up in the civil rights era. The older boomers were already being indoctrinated into antiracism in schools in the 1950s. Go watch a film called key largo from the 1930s, a major plot point is how the evil white man kills two poor injun boys who are wrongly accused of killing a cop. It goes way back and the boomers grew up in that culture.
There's a little more nuance than that. Boomer racism isn't the same as NatSoc.
Didn’t say it was
Not just dumb, but selfish.
