America has always been diverse, and I've never seen any evidence that that has been anything but a positive thing. But then again, I'm not an insecure racist loser who thinks "white genocide" is a thing.

Basically, what's the point of this forced multiculturalism?
And why do these people think that trying to preserve American culture is somehow racist?
American culture =/= White American culture. We've always been a multicultural country. Nothing new in that regard.

Yeah, diversity did wonders for Detroit. And Newark. And the Bronx. And Oakland. And, and, and......

Maybe if whites hadn't panicked every time a black person moved into a neighborhood and left the neighborhood to escape the "undesirable element" things would have turned out better for those cities.

No, it's not about race .

It's about being an American first and whatever ethnicity you happen to be is secondary to the point of being irrelevant.

But the left sees this as not only passe` but downright racist. To them, the notion that all cultures are equal is of paramount importance above the melting pot.

American culture is not about being white. And anyone who propagates that idea is the bigot.

This is meaningless to me. As a non-white person, I'm doing fine and so will you.

34% of the nation’s welfare recipients live in California but only 12% of the U.S. population resides there. Yes Sir. No problems on the coasts.

Nonsense. The riots did Newark in, and violence has been the demise of many urban areas. That led to "flight" in such cities for all with the means to do it


NYC came back under Rudy & Bloomberg as they used the police effectively to drive down violent crime rates.

Per the Census: The black population: At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month. The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 17.8 percent, and non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.
I don't really care how diverse the the US becomes. What I do care about is how much trash we're letting in here to setup shop and start living off the backs of the rest of our hardworking DIVERSE population.
