No.
I am older, so perhaps those who have been raised with many different cultures from childhood will be comfortable with the trend you mention.
I was raised a WASP in New England, and I would just as soon never have to adapt to any other culture. This is not to say that I don't enjoy my interaction with people from other cultures and countries. I do, but I mean that I want them to adapt to being here, not vice versa.
So far, this has never been a problem in my life, and I don't expect it ever will, since, as I said, I am old. I have always lived with like-minded people.

DC? It was one of the worst crime-ridden hellholes in the country for decades. Scarsdale, NY? It's 85% white, homie.

Basically, what's the point of this forced multiculturalism?
And why do these people think that trying to preserve American culture is somehow racist?
Could not have said it better! Cheers

I don't believe that whites are the majority nor do I believe that whites have been for a long time now.
Go to a Wal-Mart here in the South when the food stamps hit & tell me whites are the majority.

That's exactly what it means. And most of those licking their chops seem to be of the, shall we say....Semitic variety.

I'm just reading between the lines.

Being obtuse about the fear is a common defense mechanism...FYI.

I can read between the lines also. I didn't read anything that you are claiming.

I guess the census is lying then? Of course there are certain areas where they aren't the majority but overall they are.

We will be more diverse, as whites are about a decade older on average than Latin American immigrants, which means the latter is more often in child-bearing years. That translates to a disproportionate percentage of new Americans from Latin American parents, which reduces white % of total population.
