Man are we still strawmaning why people are upset about Vivek? This just isn't going to help move political discourse forward. If Vivek had come out on Christmas and said "yes.. Heritage Americans exist. No- I am not as American as someone who's family has been here since 1625." he'd be the King of the alt-right, regardless of his race. Yes I know there are racist remarks on twitter but you have to understand what people's actual issues are.
It was just depressing to watch them devolve into "but there are individuals of X group who are good!" like yeah no one disputes that. We aren't talking about individuals- we're talking about whether or not we get to have a country or whether mass migration is going to take it away from us.
@avidseries It's not even like him being crowned as the candidate by Trump is DEI, that's just normal politics. I am begging people to use terms correctly.
@krr62023@razibkhan@bofrench Are we claiming that Bo French wants to deport natives? Or did Bo French make an edgy joke about deporting natives? Because those are two different things- and Razib knows that.
I just don't like this summary. Even people who are against demographic change are not opposed to small amounts of diversity. It's about remaining the majority- meaning keeping America fundamentally an Anglo-European western country that represents the interest of that civilization, where those cultural preferences are reflected.
@razibkhan Brown makes no sense because it combines Mexicans with South Asians- two groups who have no overlapping ancestry or shared history or culture. At least White just means "European."
@johnarnold@DavidMastio Segregation is not an obstacle. Only 15% of NYCs K-5 kids are white. How do you plan to integrate the other 85% into schools with white kids? Grow them in a lab?
Ehβ¦ I mean yeah they are fleeing violence and didnβt we let in like 50 gajillion people under that same justification? That being said I think they should be more open about the fact that this is in fact, a population transfer in the making. Call it a decolonization program and not a refugee program.
One of the things Iβm mentally sort of working through right now is the fact that stories like this (amplified via our woke media) has made me reconsider how I feel about inter-racial marriages. I just have met and hear about too many mixed kids who go through life with deep, pathological issues due to deracination or alienation from one side of their ancestry at the expense of the other. Iβm not really sure even where I land on it anymore. I feel like it didnβt used to be this way and mixed kids didnβt exhibit this type of behavior but maybe I just didnβt hear about it? Idk
