The white people in this country hold a majority of the social and political power. You cannot exhibit racism toward the "ruling class" in a given country.

Besides, I doubt many of the posters here are anti-white.

They're just not anti-everyone else enough to appease the white supremacist crowd.
You are conflating classism and racism. Mass immigration doesn't harm the "ruling class" it disproportionately harms and affects the non-ruling class. Poor, unattractive, foreign gibberish speaking, foreign clothing wearing along with every other non-white, non-western person isn't flooding the "ruling class" communities and altering them demographically, socio-politically, economically and in every way possible under the sun.

Are whites not entitled to rule the countries they founded, built and populated? Is that something only non-whites are privileged to do?

It is true that people from English speaking countries will have an edge, including UK, Australia, Nigeria, Singapore...

Just goes to show how uninformed CNN is.
"Now, I know CNN and its senior white house correspondent, John Acosta, have become Trump's whipping boys, and I am sorry about that. But my god! John Acosta asked a question, made a statement, attacked the merit based immigration proposal by stating it's a departure from former immigration "policy." Acosta believes that Emma Lazarus's poem "your huddled masses yearning to be free ...send these, the homeless tempest-tost [tossed] to me ..." is the basis of the U.S. immigration system.

This would be like saying that Robert Frost's poem about "two roads diverged in a yellow wood' and choosing the one less traveled is the basis of the signage regulations for the interstate highway system.

BANANAS!"

Everyone that comes here should be allowed to speak their native language. It's pure bigotry to want them to speak English

No one is asking people not to speak their native language.

Just learn some English.

I spend 2 months a year in Japan and learned basic Japanese. I don't live here and it isn't required... It just makes sense!

English is most spoken, as it is the language of business. However, I'm not sure it is spoken as the first language of most Africans. Each ethnic groups has a primary non-western language, seemingly spoken at home in most cases. Most Africans I know speak 3-4 languages, including English or another European language.
