The point I was making was this. Said persons basically stated that if White people were not the majority, the USA would become a 3rd world nation. I responded by pointing out nations where Whites are not the majority that are not 3rd world nations.

I'm not against anyone else. I just like my own people. Why would I want to see our relative numbers shrink? Should people in countries in Africa, Asia, etc., invite massive immigration and look forward to minority status in their own countries? If not, why should we?

Any country where the people are defined by race, not adherence to the national culture, is a nation already on its way to the 3rd World. Yes, that means us. America places way more value on your identity that comes before the hyphen in "whatever-American" than it does that common word that comes after the hyphen.

Whatever the majority of prefixes happens to be is irrelevant, since focusing on the prefix instead of the suffix is what dooms us.

I think supachai's from Asia, maybe Thailand? He ain't "white". Maybe he "knows" something that we do know.

Good question. Don't hold your breath for an answer from the liberals and ethnocentrics though. As I said, I don't care about race but I do care about retaining our identifying language and culture and immigrants coming here (in diversified numbers) who will assimilate and that are a benefit to our nation rather than a burden. Is that too much to ask? I guess so.

Well, if he/she is, he sure is ignoring facts and conditions in his/her own backyard. Try Singapore, or Taiwan as countries or lands with high per capita incomes and level of economic development.

We are told race doesn't exist, doesn't matter, or is a social construct. Then we are told minority racial pride, economic empowerment, and affirmative action are all perfectly fine. White people can't have any of that, though. If the percentage of white people is too high in a given area, that is considered a problem. But does anyone ever complain that Africa is too African, or Japan is too Japanese? Nope. Massive double standard.
