in 2045, whites to become minority

[mama2one]

I don't know if the census themselves put out the information to the public under headlines like, "Whites are going to become a minority" or if others look at the data and then do it.

good catch!

Truth promotes harmony. People need to understand the truth for harmony to exist. Truth is, poor folks have always procreated far more than wealthy folks. And as the income disparity gap widens there are usually more people forced into poverty. Harmony and happiness are personal choices. You cannot create harmony with those who aren't willing to sing along with the group. Maybe white people will begin to have more children if wealth gets redistributed more evenly and minorities do not dominate the poverty realm. You do not seem bothered with promoting harmony anyhow being so offended by the facts of the situation. How should the headline read in order to promote harmony to your satisfaction? Your statement reveals your bias and sensitivity, not the author's. I might agree with you had the headline read "Caucasians fear losing their priveleges as the majority and superior race in America."

don't think white women will begin having more children
especially since so many woman today are working woman

having a baby affects their career

But it strongly provides a diversity of food sources, which the world does need badly.

Especially Thai food.

Well, that's only a problem if the national culture (Anglo-American) that these people adopt is an essentially racist culture.

The proponents of CRT say that it is. Do you agree with them?

No I don't agree with the progressives. The culture minorities are going to adopt will undermine those communities as much as it has the white majority. Racism doesn't play much a role in it.

however, if one is a minority it's part of your life

everyday, my minority daughter looks in the mirror & sees herself & sees she looks different than her parents

she goes out into the world where people often stare at her because she's a minority in the USA
it's pretty bizarre how people act towards minorities

Guess what, the same is true if I were to move to China. It's called majority privilege, where
the majority get benefits in society not given to minorities. Trying to socially engineer things
so one group gets privilege over others requires injustices be put upon the majority group.
It's trying to be done now and not working very well.

Wasn't this supposed to happen in the year 2000, then 2010, then 2020? Still, I guess it's a good reason to support multiculturalism if we are to be a multicultural country. Otherwise, I think Scandinavia is still like 90% white. The ones who are sad about it can move there to be back in the majority (but it would make them an immigrant I guess).

I've been places where the people seem to have never seen a white person. People stared out of curiosity I guess. One guy was staring and walked right into a pole.

Poland is 99.99% white. And the vast majority of people are Christians (Catholics, though).

American conservatives would find many similar values there, because Poland is also right-leaning and very conservative.

No guns, though

yes, that was husband when he travelled for work
seems like one is a celebrity when the only white person
husband was showered with gifts and big lavish dinners!

Undermine as in work for their businesses?

Undermine as in they are going to adopt the same dying culture of westerners if they become assimilated.

I don't know what you mean by working for their businesses. What are you talking about?

What winning culture did you have in mind?
I could tolerate the Danish Culture.

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

What winning culture did you have in mind?

Any traditional and anti-liberal culture.

That's not saying anything. What thriving, vibrant culture do you propose that we should admire and embrace?

The Amish are a good example of a thriving culture. One doesn't have to go as far as them in certain respects but they are a good example of what being traditional and anti-liberal can accomplish.

Yes. Being partly Mennonite, I can't disrespect your preferences. I love the outdoors and weather and pie.

The culture of the West is not dying (at least not any more quickly than any other human culture is dying).

A population whose population is not above replacement is by definition a dying population.

That's the people, not the culture. The Goths, for instance, adopted the culture of the Romans. Anglo-American culture is an adept, adaptable--and easily adoptable-- culture. It's not perfect by any means, but it has probably more positive traits than any other currently around. The major problem, in fact, is racism and particularly the black-white schism.

Whites who fear falling out of majority position fear "what goes around, comes around," but that need not happen if those who merely fear the loss of a white America would loosen their grip on that concept.

But by 2045, the vast majority of Boomers--the last generation into which racial segregation was inculcated--will be dead or in nursing homes, and that fear will have largely dissipated.
