Can you explain exactly what you’re “all for”? Because of the handful of interpretations of your post, several are downright psychotic.
I am all for it in terms of diversity and inclusion.

#32Whenever I see Europeans railing about the destruction of their cultures by small number of immigrants, I want to point to California and be like “you’re doing it wrong.” Pretty much within one generation, everyone here is bilingual, fully integrated, we all enjoy each others company, culture and food etc.

Riots. Nothing is known yet about the attack and its motives, but we know the motives for the riots.
Actually, it's the other way around. I don't think anyone has yet declared their motives to riot, but the perp has been identified as Algerian. It's also true that the rioters probably knew this.
Source?

The US and Europe are very different in terms of actual immigration in terms of population. The US has immigrants from many different nations and cultures that actually are less stratified. Europe on the other hand has a more homogeneous immigrant population which is the cause for more friction. All this to say, Europe i headed into a different direction than the US for the reasons stated above.

The only interpretation I can see is in support of Great Replacement.
Ooh, this is my first time seeing white nationalism ideology referenced on hacker news.
(And to clarify, I do not remotely support the ideology... Just curious as to what types of people use this site)

> the perp has been identified as Algerian
The BBC says otherwise:
> It is understood that included false claims that the attacker was a foreign national.
> Sources have indicated to the BBC that the man suspected of carrying out the attack is an Irish citizen in his late 40s who has lived in the country for 20 years.

#39Given that the US doest not have an official language, this rings a weird bell. Had the been England or any other country with an official language, it would have been something. In particular with the history of California and the proximity to Mexico, the opposite (that more than 50% speaks english) should be the story.
California was almost empty when it was annexed into the US. Disease etc. Immigration from the rest of the English-speaking US completely dwarfed what was left. Almost 100% of Spanish-speaking Californians have come in the past 50-70 years. Basically none have historical roots to California.
