Most Minority areas like Chinatown or Mission developed as a result of housing discrimination and/or residents lacking English language skills and needing to reside in those areas to be able to complete daily activities.
Not to keep their blood line pure or because they have problems with white women dating black men

So what? The Anglos still stole their land. A difference without much of a distinction.

Arguing about history does little to change your situation. You can be smug and chauvinistic all you want but the current demographics are what they are.

You aren't the arbiter of these issues.

As you've failed to comprehend - these days Europeans don't move here in large numbers because mostly they're not clamoring to come here. Immigrants are self-selecting in general and they come here for a reason.

Asian countries' national immigration policies aren't relevant here - that's their issue. I'm focused on what happens here in MY community and my country.

If these so-called Euro Americans don't like it here, they're free to go anywhere they want. Not my problem.

Oregon? Really? Associated with cultural sophistication? What a laugh! I just asked my wife if Oregon was culturally sophisticated (she lived there for 10 years and we still visit several times a year) and she said NO! I agree. Much of Oregon is just like Idaho.

I didn't see anything here that said Europeans can't have their communities...

Based on your criteria should be moving to somewhere like the Netherlands, Sweden or Denmark. Why aren't you packing your bags? Move to Oregon and find out how culturally sophisticated it is there. I guarantee you will go running away (if you are "sophisticated" as you say)...

Frankly, the social justice warrior sobriquet is a garbage throwaway term to just say you don't like something or ideology. It's too indistinct.

Not only do Jewish Americans vote 70% Democratic, they also largely subscribe to the so-called liberal agenda. But I think you know that. And they probably care about a lot of stuff that you scoff at. And most of them aren't hard core Likudniks that sign on to AIPAC's agenda.

Thanks for clearing that up what SJW means. The problem these days is people only know how to abbreviate (take short cuts) and don't spell it out in proper English.

Idaho is being invaded by Kalifornia transplants.

Even Asian immigrants in the region are getting fed up with mass immigration. Yeh Ling Ling as an immigrant of Chinese origin from Vietnam who started out as pro-immigration. She changed her views when a massive housing development was proposed near her home in Orinda. This about 25 years ago and she helped her community block the development.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK9MMrg4Vo4




It looks like she had to leave the Bay Area for Idaho.

"Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of the Alliance for a Sustainable USA, said U.S. businesses should be cautious about making contracts that give Chinese companies the best jobs — though she is more worried about investment programs that encourage immigration, which Idaho also has jumped into this year.

“I believe that Idaho or other American companies should first seek investments from America and employ American engineers first,” said Ling-Ling, a naturalized citizen from Orinda, Calif., who was born in Vietnam of Chinese parents."

Historically Jews were influential in SF but now there is a rise in anti-semitism from Chinese interest.

I just knew that you'd pull this one out as you've mentioned this earlier - in a pretty feeble attempt to conflate environmentalism with immigration. SF Bay Boomer has mentioned this matter and rejected it.

Yeh Ling Ling is hardly representative of Asian Americans here and is probably more thought of as a crank.
