Looking for something that explains why "conservatives" are so dead set against policies aimed at equalizing treatment (ie: rights, opportunities, etc) for women and minorities under the law, we always eventually bump into an underlying thingie that translates to:
"What if black people treat us like we've always treated them?"
-or-
"If we give gays the same rights as the rest of us, we're afraid they'll treat us just like we've always treated women".
So let's take that as a template, and overlay the shitty attitude held by so many "conservatives" towards immigrants.
OK so far?
Now consider this - the American population is at an average of 56 years old.
In 15 or 20 years, those "conservatives" are looking at an increasing probability of being taken care of by women and minorities and - wait for it - immigrants!!!
