Intolerant Minorites and Inclusivity: It Only Takes One Side to Start a War

Title pretty much says it all. One of the things that drives me nuts about the useful parrots in the "inclusivity" and open borders crowd is how they don't understand something as fundamental as the intolerant minority, or, in this case, the variant of "it only takes one side to start a war."
