Again - diversity is here to stay here in the USA - it's a reality, whether you like it or not.
Just proves whites are no different than minorities - they want to be left alone to cultivate their societies and culture, as do whites. And we aren't "RACISTS!!!" for believing so.

The term “racist” has so many meanings. It’s been so watered down and overused it’s a worthless term used only to attack. Whites are the least “racist” and most accepting people on the planet, often at their own expense and demise which I see as a major obstacle to our survival. And based on hate crime conviction rates here in the U.S. nowhere near the top of that list. USDOJ, FBISTATS. As an American I’m embarrassed by our lack of immigration laws enforcement. And if you want immigration laws enforced, illegals deported, and the border secured, you’re a “racist”.

If you’re white and haven’t been accused of being a racist, you likely simply haven’t been pulling your weight. It takes nothing more than something as simple as being white and voting for Trump to be accused of being one. I’m a “racist”. Boo f’ing boo. Haha..

You're talking to the wrong person on this.

Diversity is only a burden for bigots and ethnocentrists.

Have a Coke and a smile.

Fortunately these days, people can live anywhere they want. If I wanted to move to your neighborhood, I certainly can. You don't have to socialize with me, let alone roll out the welcome wagon, but what you can't do is harass me or prevent from being here.

See the distinction?

Exactly. Let 'em cry in their coffee. But if they want to act out on their hostility - like violate civil rights laws and commit hate crimes - they better knock it off.

We should be promoting the melting pot and tolerance not multiculturalism and diversity. My wife is a filipina and I’m tired of “promoting diversity “

And this is the thing. Some people want to harass people, to prevent them from moving into their neighborhoods. Some people want the days where it was legal to restrict non-Whites from living in certain areas.

I've been on city-data for a long time. I've run into people who have been more open about wanting to keep Blacks restricted in where they could live. You could tell that those persons were quite unhinged and angry. Some things don't change.

Yep. Play the saddest song on a violin. As more and more minorities become upwardly mobile, they are going to move to places they perceive as nicer, greener pastures. When my father got his Bachelor's degree (then later a masters degree), he got better work than what his parents had. He moved on to what he felt were greener pastures. I was never raised in the ghetto. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood (which happened to be majority White). People have more choices now, and this bothers some people.

Being hateful is not limited to any particular race. We have nasty, hateful people all around. In parts of L.A. with the violence between Blacks and Mexicans. I don't like that happening either.

Those persons who want the bad old days back, the only thing they can do, within the law, is cry. It bothers said individuals that they have to obey the law, or that the law isn't what they want it to be.

Apparently if we have different views on how to secure the border and deal with illegal immigration that automatically means that one is for open border. This is nonsense.
Where did you get the idea that the poster you are replying to has a hang up about skin tone? They are mainly saying that whites aren't allowed to oppose illegal immigration are they get called racists by the liberal left and that's the truth. If whites want to align with people who share their ethics and values the same label get applied to them and you know it. They should have the same rights as you do as a minority.

It's alright to have different views on securing the border but if your views don't deter illegals from coming here for the different reasons that they do then your views on how to secure the border will be less effective. Illegals aren't a one size fits all. Some are economic migrants, some are criminals, drug runners and some from known terrorist countries so that's where securing the border with good physical barriers becomes necessary.
