Biden for one: > An unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who were Caucasian, of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. Fewer than 50 percent of the people in America from then and on will be White European stock. That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength. And that's a very innocent one,…

I missed the part in the constitution where it said America should be made up of mostly whites. If you want more whites in america, i guess you should have more children.

That's not what I'm saying. I don't care either way, but I also don't push to change the demographics. I have no reason to, I don't define the strength of a country based on the color of the population.

Can you understand the difference?

Failing to panic about the Great Replacement is racism now? Cuuuute.

Judging people based on their color is the definition of racism.

ok, so whatever happens, happens. Let's imagine in 100 years, the country is 90% black. Who cares. It is whatever it turns out to be.

Correct, and probably how things end up based on birth rates alone. What is a problem however is the wording:

> An unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop.

> Folks [...] of European descent [...] will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. [...] That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength

It can be interpreted as the nonstop immigration is a tool with the goal of changing the demographics. Why? What's so important and why do they put a value on proportions of race?

Just now in Texas you have federal and state employees fighting against each other, the former to let as many as possible in, the latter to prevent it. What is the goal here?

My take on not just this example but the race discussions in general are to divide and keep us busy fighting over useless issues to distract us from the corruption. Same with the east vs west endless war, we need an external enemy to be outraged against so we can ignore the enemies within. Otherwise we might be able to put the differences aside and collaborate to achieve something useful as a planet, but how would that help the elite to keep living like gods?

Do you mean to say you're on board with the narrative that only democrats do that, and not republicans?

How did you get that impression? I didn't say anything to even imply that did I?

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Quote me.

Systemic racism does not exist against whites in the US.

Sure it does: college admissions and air traffic controller hiring are two recent examples. https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/the-faas-hiring-scandal-...

ATC is notoriously white. Balancing it out isn't racism or inequitable. Same can be said for higher education.

Isn’t racism just racism? Racism is garbage regardless of “history” attached to it. No place for any of it. Maybe my view is over simplistic, but it seems the most obvious.

It's really not. Have you spent so much as 5 minute of reading to educate yourself on the topic?
