Can anyone tell me why America become a minority majority county is a good thing?
I mean looking at what has happened to every culture and nation that has been overwhelmed by other cultures and nations and was/is made a minority in their own nation has never ended well. From the Roman Empire to the culture problems to the Middle East.
Please don`t pull the who "you are a racist" bit. You have to make the case on why some culture or races are not allowed to be a majority in their own nations while others cultures and races have the right to be a majority in their nations and other nations of other races/cultures...Which if its OK for other races expect one is that not itself "racist"?
And if "race does not exist" how can anyone be a "racist"?
Let the games begin.
Color has nothing to do with it. It's a cultural thing.
If you are on about Hispanics, my personal experience in hiring them over the last 25 years has been that they have a far superior work ethic to either their white or black counterparts. They show up on time, come looking for more work when they finish a task, and smile when you tell them that overtime is needed. The best employees I ever had came from Honduras and Colombia. The biggest problem was, I could never get enough of them. If they "took anybody's job", that's the reason.
Everyone else needs to up their game. If they don't, they should be afraid of becoming obsolete.
And if you say nonsense, then why is it common in central and south American countries to rule by corruption, disarm your opposition and use might to rule, lack of a middle class where there is only the poor and the ruling elite which leads to voting in more corruption like Chavez and the bus driver for example. Bribes and exploitation are considered the way things work, and individual rights take a backseat to majority whims?
Central & South America are - to a huge majority - Hispanic. We're looking at a nation here where no single demographic group will have a majority individually, and that means coalitions will be required in order to get anything done. Coalitions work by engaging in compromise, middle of the road solutions to problems.
The European immigrants heard the same nonsense you spouted; the Bund operated here 70 years ago trying to get the 3rd Reich more turf. They failed-as they were also just one minority of many, with no coalition.

Much of S. America is screwed up because of us. We overthrew another one of their governments in 2009. Anytime it serves us well we screw with them.
The NY gangs of the early 20th century pitted the 2nd newest group of immigrants vs the newest, the 3rd newest vs the 2nd, etc.
There is nothing new about these feelings, which are nothing more than a form of racism as well as insecurity.
A lot of inferior people need someone to look down on to make themselves feel important. My step-grandfather was a klansman with a robe. I saw prejudice up close and personal.

If you have seen the changes that have happen via immigration both legal and illegal they have not been positive.
Have you seen the legal immigrates we have taken, not all of them are the best and brightest and we dont need more then 250,000 coming into this nation every year?
Why not take 250,000 of the best of the best of the best?
Who are you to say who America needs or not? Did somebody appoint you the judge?
There has never been a large immigrant group who has moved here and did not face heavy opposition. None has ever assimilated easily since the turn of the 19th century. But they all did assimilate, no matter how the 'native Americans' felt about them. Not all of any group were only the best and brightest, but even the ordinary make their contributions to our mutual well being and our society.
The country is browning...shut up and get on with it.
Folks don't wanna hear all this crying about it.
Nothing says that white people must be a permanent majority in this country.
No, we are not shutting up nor are we "getting on with it".
Great, so lets secure the borders, and limit immigration to highly skilled labor only.
