    This is what America will look like in 40 years, worst case scenario. It just goes to show, there are consequences to immigration.


    Wasn't there native Americans before any immigration started?

    Yep really good ones, the gene pool of the population is far more varied and stronger.

    This seems like a really positive outcome to me.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    At what point will they stop calling themselves American with a prefix such as Irish,African,Chinese etc?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Hmm the article seems very triumphalist in tone.

    Almost as if one enormous mixed race population is somehow "better" than existing status quo. It depends on what each race stands to "gain" from it.

    Some people would argue that this is a sad situation where white Americans become largely endangered species. The same white Americans that largely built modern America as we know it. I will now sit in the corner and await the racism tag.

    The glaring absence of fatties calls into question the veracity of these claims.

    How does crossing a member from a non-intelligent race(e.g east aisan woman) with a intelligent race(white man) make the result more intelligent. I thought you'd be more likely to get a mixture of intelligence levels

    I mean those east asians can't be very intelligent if they think that Eleanor Hawkins' breasts caused an earthquake. It's not just a coincidence that asians ended up believing silly stuff.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    "Worst-case scenario?"

    Why? Because the already ethnically diverse US will be slightly more so? Why would that be bad?

    Or do you mean that there'll be a small proportion of Native Americans left?

    "Endangered:" very loaded language. You might it sound like white Americans are being killed, when what we're looking at are broad demographic shifts.

    And one very obvious advantage of ethnic diversity is increased genetic diversity.

    You mean different races/ethnicities have different IQs? Care to elaborate?

    I always wonder about threads like this when the OP isn't a recent reg.

    Do people think "well, I have been here a year and a half, time to go mental.
    I've always wanted to try being banned..."?

    The so called 'native americans ' are immigrants too.

    The land should be returned to its elk heritage.

    I think it's nice to have cultures and races maintained... rather than all of us being the same. I'll never view these hybrid kids as pure! I hope I don't fall in love with a hybrid woman.

    I'm not seeing any mention of causes of "goodbye USA" in the article you linked, funny enough.

    Well the population of white Americans is decreasing so the effect is the same as if they were being killed. (in fact this is true in most white Western countries such as Germany and Russia).

    Also, the long term picture outlined in the OP is not one of "diversity", since the pictures all look like the same "mixed race"

    Russia is a western country now? That was a sneaky move.

    "White Americans"........you mean Americans of European descent, many of which from lineages for long periods not considered "white"......


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    The same white Americans that largely built modern America as we know it.

    Cultures and races have always changed gradually over time and always will. I don't see why you would want this to stop.
    Why would you want races to be maintained? It's just skin colour, people are all diverse regardless of their outer appearance. I'd still be the same person if I had slightly lighter or darker skin, if I'd had the same upbringing.
    How do you think races should be maintained? Controlled breeding? Segregation?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭Letree


    I think it's nice to have cultures and races maintained... rather than all of us being the same.

    I think most of the world is happy to maintain the different races, all except one particular race. It generally can't be discussed though as you will see soon.

    Much of the reason for this is that white men find it easier to get get sex with foreigners. White women can afford to play hard to get. Perhaps they're too choosy

    The effect is not the same at all. The cultural effect of a racially-motivated genocide in the most powerful is incalculable, and can't be compared to long-term population shifts. Would Rwanda be the same if the Tutsi population had very gradually declined due to differing birth rates?
    You're being deliberately sensationalist to try to make your beliefs seem more secure and based in reality.

    How do you feel about people being mixed-race? Would you have a problem with a country where most of the people had ancestors from different races?

    Correct. You don't see much acceptance of race mixing in places like Japan or Zimbabwe. In fact Zimbabwe is the most racist country in the world but you will never read or hear much about it from largely liberal media because it doesn't square with their "all evil is due to white men" philosophy.

    It would be nice if people read from more than one hymn book. I doubt the tunes would be any better, but at least there'd be some more variety.
