White Americans may view diversity and multiculturalism more negatively as the U.S. moves toward becoming a minority-majority nation, UCLA psychologists report.
As part of their study, the researchers divided 98 white Americans from all regions of the country — half male, half female, with an average age of 37 — randomly into two groups. One group was told that whites will no longer be the majority in the U.S. by 2050; in fact, this is likely to be true as soon as 2043, according to some projections. The second group was told that whites would retain their majority status in the U.S. through at least 2050. All participants were then asked a series of questions about their views on diversity.
“Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time,” said Yuen Huo, UCLA professor of psychology and the study’s senior author.

Cruelty and violence are practically synonyms, yes. There's plenty of both in this context. I'm not sure what you're even trying to defend at this point. Your incredulity is approaching self-parody, so this will have to be my last comment in this thread because you're not actually contributing anything of substance.
I don't respond to ACs.

Cruelty by God is not even close to advocating that his adherents practice violence.

And your credulity in the kind of spittle-spraying lunacy of sites like thereligionofpeace.com while implying that you have a doctorate level understanding of the religion is a parody.
