Who made the questions? Are they yours or worked out in a group or so?

I think the qestion "in my country are too many immigrants" should be embedded into which country someone lives in, or even, from which quarter in a city he/she origins from. That might have a way stronger influence on the answer than anything music related.

And I wonder why all statements are rather negative? Couldn´t they be created also in the opposite way (f.e. "My country doesn´t have too many immigrants")?
Also, being "proud of the racial identity" is obviously intended to be negative, but it doesn´t consider, that in the light of awareness-raising, for some ethnic groups which would be suppressed in the past, this could be a good thing, like for the gypsies (or even the Sami in Finland, Norway etc); without that it means, they would behave bad to other people. And how to you distinguish between race and ethnie?


Anyhow, for those kind of statistics, you need groups and control groups. In this case you´d need a control-group with the same characteristics (young people, music-lovers, similar social background etc) which doesn´t listen to metal, in order to see if that factor is the decisive one.
And those two groups, you need to identify beforehand. Do you have that one? Because the people you ask here naturally are metalheadz But they don´t have same social background, and that will probably influence the results most.

well, what's the point in being proud of your racial identity? you didn't do anything for it, did you? it was sheer accident, why should i be proud? i can only be proud of stuff i did by myself.

Immigrants are generally a drain on society.
3 - mixed feelings, as well as those who immigrate and adhere well to their new life, some stay on state welfare, or are involved in criminal elements, e.g. eastern european protection rackets, Yardies etc.

Same-race marriages are preferable to interracial marriages
1

My country has too many immigrants.
4 - yes, it does, there reaches a point where the country becomes so overcrowded that it can no longer support itself. As some people will be aware, England has a big problem with illegal immigrants and 'asylum seekers'.

Racial profiling should be allowed.

Racial hate crimes should be punished more forcefully than those that don't involve race.
4

Your race should determine how society views your potential.
1

2

Foreign criminals should be deported back to their country of origin.
4 - this goes in particular for those that come with the express intention of committing crimes, such as the groups previously mentioned.

Race is genetically determined, not socially.
3 - bit of both. Race as a scientific term is generally judged by scientific terms, e.g. Hispanic, Black, Caucasian, Asian etc, but socially, there are groups that retain their 'race', such as Indians who migrate, but like in the comedy Goodness Gracious Me, 'aren't British, we're INDIAN!'.

Refugees should stay in their own country and solve the problems there.
3 - such as in the case of Afghanistan, maybe once the threat that made them migrate and seek asylum is over, they should think about returning to their country to help rebuild it if they truly care about it?

My country spends too much money on Third World aid.
2

Different races are naturally hostile towards each other.
2

I'm proud of my racial identity.
4 - I'm a citizen of the world baby, that's my identity
