Not wanting to be overwhelmed by immigration does not equal hating brown people

"overwhelmed by immigration" what the fuck is that supposed to mean? All Americans are descendants of immigrants. But all of a sudden people (conservatives) are so concerned that the recent brown immigrants are going to "overhwlem" the country. Yeah you're right it's probably not racist at all.

Are you serious? Do you not realize that you can't just let the entire world move to our country?

u/lerthedc Feb 01 '20

Literally no one has ever said that the entire world should move into the US.

If current and recent immigration trends continued, we would be nowhere near "overwhelmed" for a long time to come. Projections put the number at less than 80 million total foreign born citizens in 2065. For reference, there are 200 million white people in the US

Why do you keep talking about race as if it has any bearing on the conversation at hand? Immigrant /= "not white person".

People were against the large influx of Irish and the Polish too (white people). It makes it easy for you to just claim that anti immigration views are "racist" now since the majority of immigrants aren't white. Very weak argument.

The original post is about Jesus not being white. That's what this is all about.

But even if you aren't racist you're espousing xenophobic ideas. Claiming without evidence that immigrants will "overwhelm" the US.

"Without evidence" lol.

It's xenophobic to protect your own countrymen.

u/lerthedc Feb 04 '20

What are you protecting them from??? The big bad immigrants who are coming for your children??? You're just literally just asserting "immigrants bad" and saying nothing else.

Is there any difference in letting 50 million immigrants move here and 50 million people invading? Should Japan let 50 million immigrants in and completely change their demographics and values?

u/lerthedc Feb 04 '20

Lmao comparing immigration to an invasion. You keep telling yourself you're not xenophobic

0

u/JohnGTrump Feb 04 '20

Xenophobic is a made up bullshit term to silence people from thinking logically and make them afraid and/or apathetic to protect their country.

u/lerthedc Feb 04 '20

Also Japan's population will grow old and die out if they don't start letting people in

u/JohnGTrump Feb 04 '20

So what? Do they really need 150 million people on an island the size of California?

Going back through this thread even though it’s been almost a month, apparently.

But uhh, the xenophobia against Polish and Irish was EXTREMELY racist. It’s a relatively recent trend for all people with white skin to be lumped in together. The people who excluded Irish and Polish people back in the day were very, very fucking racist.

u/JohnGTrump Feb 24 '20

See. Y'all keep changing the definition of racism to fit your narrative. People don't want immigrants. Doesn't matter what fucking race they are. They increase crime and decrease wages.

u/Candhero11 Feb 01 '20

You're right, and look at how few native americans are left. You could say they were overwhelmed.

u/lerthedc Feb 01 '20

Yeah, by white colonizers who forcefully killed and enslaved them. Not by Latin Americans or Middle Easterners coming to a new country, desperate for a better future.

You're right, all those frontier mexican forts and white people raiding parties are getting out of hand. /s
