This is not an accurate depiction of historical events. In addition, no serious scholar endorses this viewpoint. Those who do endorse such a viewpoint are in the minority of any academic circle.
History gets distorted and twisted for peoples gain.

I don't think that either you or that London Indian guy truly understand the meaning of "population density"...
We don't know how many Amerindians lived in North America, are you saying Europeans had a right to steal, rape, burn down Amerindian society?

No, he is NOT saying that. He is merely saying that there were very few people living per square mile, which is NOT the same as "sure, shoot and kill everyone".
You can either agree or disagree with his statement about the population density, but do not twist his words into something that was not said.
It seems to be a general theme, that most people assume that 50 million non-Euopeans moving to Europe is expected, and anything less, and Europeans are racist, intolerant, scum of the planet types of people. Isn't it hypocritical that it isn't reciprocal?
Does it seem like the 'diversity' and 'open' is always a one-way street? Only Europe should be, but you'd never expect it of anyone else?
Wouldn't it be better if all of Asia threw open their doors, and said 'come on in!' But, almost every Asian country has an extremely rigid rigid rigid "no way in hell" policy.
Want to move 50 million Americans or 50 million Europeans to the Philippines? To South Korea? To Iran? To Afghanistan? To China? To Indonesia? To Turkey? To Saudi Arabia? To Kenya? It's not going to happen. We could make the same arguments, but it'll be great for their economies! And that would probably be true, but it will never happen. It's so incredibly unlikely to happen, that no one even makes a remote remark that is simply even possibly could.
If one were to move 50-100 million Europeans to Asia Country X, wouldn't it have an amazing impact on their overall quality of life, if that's what they are seeking? Wouldn't there be an upheaval in their economic power on a global scale, if that is what they were seeking?
I realize this will NEVER happen, but just what if one Asian country out there, just said, "Come on in, here's your Dual Passport, start a new life here." Not just UAE allowing people to work there, but an immigrant country that really says, 'you are now one of us, just like if we'd moved to Canada or Australia', and here you go.
It's convenient that you leave out the America's, where Europeans have been migrating and wiping out the local people and culture for the last 400 years. All of a sudden Europe became a desirable destination (in the last half century), and there is a lot of whining of how Europeans are the only ones that have to deal with immigration? No mention of all the countries that have to deal with unstable neighbors and end up receiving thousands upon thousands of refugees.
I'm sorry, but this post by the op comes off as ethnocentric, to say the least.

Well, actually, as a person who has lived most of his life in Asia...and know a ton of people Europeans/Canadians/Australians/Kiwis/Americans etc. All who've spent much of their adult life in Asia...yeah, I find it sad that they all get kicked out the moment their work visa expires.
The Americas are immigrant nations, so of course I left them out. Pretty much anyone can go to them, and become a citizen there.
There is no hypocrisy anywhere throughout Americas. The hypocrisy is with most of the the other nations, which are predominately in Asia.
Yet, you've made no points to refute it. The number one name of baby boys in England is now Muhammad. That should scare the crap out of you, but mention this to the average Brit and they bend over backwards trying to be politically correct, even accusing the person that brings this fact up as "intolerant" or "racist". Your culture is being destroyed due to extreme political correctness and you have no one to blame but yourself.
Its the most popular boys name in the world.. I'm not scared but you are.
