Certain Hate speech against ethnic groups is protected speech under the constitution- and often has not as of yet fallen under the rubric of being described as bullying by some anti-bullying groups when certain groups or persons do it against certain racial minority groups- namely conservative radio personalities or groups such as the KKK. Has the SDA Church become a fertile ground for picking on certain groups of persons based on mere ethnic and cultural differences that have little to do with whether or not one has good christian values? For example, is there a tendency for groups of persons from the same region of the globe and/or from the same race to gang up on others within the church based on mere differences that have little to do with the substance of christianity? For example, do we have a situation, wherein if a person is from a certain region of the globe - yet they are dishonest , and tend to have a tendency to fornicate - that this person will still be lauded as a "christian" and not be described as having errant or problematic behavior - whereas another person who comes from another part of the globe, is persecuted and bullied on account of mere ethnicity and being different because of this - wherein bullying behaviors such as being targetted for exploitation, for abuse, is excused, explained away and even lauded by Church members in the SDA Church? I have printed this link below which describes a common scheme that is directed at women from certain parts of the globe being exploited.

Would you believe that we have adventists who are so cynical to allege that any and all of the women who are targetted and exploited in this fashion or approached in this fashion, and swindled out of money -had impure motives towards the male "touts" who targetted them for perverse ends, merely because they expected at the minimum to not have been approached in such a dishonest fashion - been targetted for harrassment. The question is -do people who are adventists who defend promiscous males who target women in such fashion - tend to come from countries where there is a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS which is tied to casual promiscuous relations? Is the SDA Church trying to regularlize this kind of ethos and encourage other christians look up to this kind of ethos and philosophy of life?
