Who were they foreigners to? To their fellow English men? Or the Irish to their fellow Irish men?
And let’s say that the different European ethnicities and Negroes were living in the same country, you think that that makes it into a good thing? Must be why the norm was historically for them to separate but you probably even think that that had to be legislated otherwise they would have happily blended together.
Likely one or more of your ancestors got raped and you are a descendant of that rape.
→ Therefore I don’t see why anybody would object to rape.
Let’s say America was at its founding a blend of other cultures, which it was not because its founding stock is essentially Anglo-Saxon with an Anglo-Saxon culture but let’s say that America or any other place in the world has gone through transformative phases.
Why would that be an argument to welcome foreign races and foreign cultures to immigrate now?
We all die eventually, why not jump off a cliff right now, it’s inevitable. Let’s call it change and embrace the change.
So bottomline… if enough people in your life were to begin and shame you about multiculturalism, will you change your way of thinking or are the cheap labor and other perceived benefits too enticing? How much is peer-pressure and how much is actual conviction and or a perceived benefit?
Why would shame change his mind rather than well reasoned arguments? Perhaps he doesn’t value anything authentic because he lacks that quality in himself.
Is - The cheap labor is enticing, to be sure. And of course the other benefits are enticing. That’s just common sense. If there are more benefits than detriments… you following this?
The 20th century was the century of the American Empire, which still exists. Economically, the U.S. has been the dominant economic power as well as the dominant cultural power. We dominate the world as no other country ever has. Even the British Empire pales in comparison. We have, economically speaking, subjugated most of the world. Or at least the parts that we have found valuable.
It’s not even close. And while we’ve done this with armies and banks, we have also done this with unprecedented immigration. Of one type or another.
I think France probably enjoys a good way of life. Saudi Arabia, if you’re a Saudi. Sweden, allegedly, but I have my doubts.
I wish you knew something about economics, but people like you do not. The industrial revolution depended on cheap labor. The balancing factor was cheap goods. That still obtains. Wages for white people have stagnated but the goods you buy once you reach the middle class are ridiculously cheaper. If you can’t keep up, don’t blame immigrants - blame yourself.
If you don’t like Cuban food, don’t blame Cubans for coming here to start a restaurant. Just eat your Cheerios. Immigrants are your best friends. They made this country and still do. or maybe you want to pay three times what you pay for food. Or to have your roof fixed.
Considering what they have done in China, Russia, Cuba, Spain, Ukraine, and other countries of the world once achieving state power, yes I would say they are of some concern. Did you fall asleep in history class? Shall we go through list after list of communist atrocities here?
Wait a second, I thought multiculturalism was all about the celebration and preservation of diversity. This seems contrary to the assimilative integration and absorption you’re promoting here. You can’t have it both ways. Different cultures and races thrive in isolation opposed to all out assimilation, balkanization, and absorption.
America was created by Europeans concerning its institutions,laws, government, constitution, and state.
The nebulous terminology of America you’re using is quite different than mine.
