And yet, you don't care what was done to Black people over a span of 250+ years. And there are alot of non-White people living in Europe too, the former USSR as well. Many people from Central Asia have gone to Russia since the 1990s.

America was never a "White" nation to begin with. Indigenous peoples lived there first, then Europeans came, and some "brought" Black African slaves with them.

I know your thinking. You have fear because for you, it is about control and power. It scares you that now non-White people can have more economic and political power.

You wouldn't care if the demographics of this country were changed via illegal immigration /from mostly one ethnic group/natonality? As for me I don't have a problem with any race or ethnic group in this country as long as they are here legally. Yes, I am white but why is it that every dominant white country is supposed to roll over and accept a significant cultural change to their countries via too much legal and illegal immigration and yet if China, Mexico for example were to have their identities/demographics as countries changed in that manner there would be outrage over it? To object to it in the U.S. is considered racist for some odd reason.
Please someone explain that to me. Is Canada next? Mind you this isn't about race so much as it is about culture.

I have not heard any kind of outrage from China or Mexico. Alot of non-Whites are moving to Canada, and the immigration standards are stricter for Canada.

And at this point, I'm more worried about other people are saying. The statement I said wasn't directed to you though.

When the U.S. became a nation it was not the so-called indigenous who were the domimant society in this country anymore it was non-hispanic whites. It doesn't bother me that the countries in Africa are dominated by blacks or that China is dominated by the Asians so why all the fuss that the U.S. is dominated by non-hispanic whites? I have no problem with minorities at all. It isn't about power either to me. It is about losing our nation's identifying culture and language via illegal immigration. Blacks mostly speak English which is a part of that culture. Do you want to see our country's language diluted or changed via illegal immigratlon? If so, perhaps you had better start learning Spanish. As for me I refuse because we aren't a Hispanic nation and that isn't our identifying culture. I'll be damned if I would ever be ok with our country being changed in that unlawful and unnatural manner.

That's because it isn't happening in China and Mexico! It was a hypothetical. I know your remarks weren't directed at me but after reading your posts I just wanted to get your views on this subject.

I haven't thought about the subject. By nationality and citizenship, I'm American, but I tend to think of myself as a global citizen. I rarely think about things like that. The question is this. Why don't alot of people want to move to Mexico or China?

Indigenous people were not the dominant group because they were subjected to a conquest.

I don't want to see English die. That being said, I feel like there will always be people in this nation speaking English into the future. And in addition to English, I know French.

The subject I was talking about was the changing of the demographics and culture of our nation via illegal immigration. You haven't thought about that or you don't care? Most Americans like living in the U.S. why would they want to move to either of those other countries? Mexico has stricter immigration laws than we do and China is even pickier. You see, they want China to remain Asian in identity and rightly so. They take pride in their culture and heritage. What's interesting to note is that they don't get called racist for that but we do.

And do you think packing up and moving will solve the problem?

Of course but that's all in the past and irrelevant. Sure English won't be annhilated completely but my point and question to you was are you ok with our national language, culture and demographics being changing via illegal immigration? If so, why? Still waiting.

You think of yourself as a global citizen? In another post you said you think of yourself as an American citizen. Which is it?
