The only difference between him and some of the people in this thread is that where he is voluntarily ignorant about other races some people in this thread are just as deliberately ignorant about their opposition's arguments when it's convenient to them to make that person appear bigoted. He purposefully assumes the worst about other races intentions even when it's convoluted and illogical, some of us purposefully assume the worst about our opposition's stance even when it's convoluted and illogical.
Foreign nationals move to the country and some bad eggs in a few places (hold on to this thought) become in his mind the entirety of the group, even though that's off the wall and ridiculous, and then he takes a good idea and perverts it with lunacy. I complain about having to deal with many of those bad eggs, particularly when they get together and a near-riot is started in the street by a whole bunch of people smugly waving another country's flag while demanding more from our country and suddenly I'm an ignorant bigot who can't stand people who integrate but respect their heritage despite having multiple other flags myself.

As I said before, making English the official language doesn't do what you think it does.
And you've yet to define when it is ok to have and wave another country's flag and when it isn't.
