I mean, I didn't read the article, but anyone can go look at the demographics over time and see that white people are having less babies, and becoming less of a majority every census. It's not a theory, it's statistical fact.
How much of that is because the same racists focused on "replacement" decided that they will judge children using the same "one drop" bullshit they have always used so they can exclude more people from "whiteness?"
The theory isn't the statistic. The statistic is true. The theory is that there is a concentrated effort to replace white culture, values and people. In reality, white people have just been well off long enough that our culture has shifted away from having a ton of children.
Plus, the entire premise is predicated on the idea that having fewer white people, relative to other ethnic groups, is a bad thing. It's not, but the people who give this theory the time of day are racist, so they see it as a problem. It is not.
I've seen racists online whining about media showing mixed race couples as part of their conspiracy theories. But it requires a bunch of racist assumptions to say that children there are not carrying on their parents' culture and traditions.
That doesn't mean you're being replaced. It means demographics are changing, like they always do.
If you feel threatened by that, you do you, but I don't give a shit.
The issue is, do you see that as a problem? Yes, our demographic is changing, no one is denying it. To the vast majority of people, it's not a problem though.
The issue isn't one of race. It's of defeating unions by importing cheap abusable labor. The propoganda here is making it out to be racist, when it's a class issue.
The only ones out here trying to defeat unions are the Rs.
Are you sure about that? Or are they trying to break them in different ways?
Same difference?
And this only matters to people who think that "whiteness" is somehow better than "non-whiteness."
Or people who know how minorities are treated and are therefore afraid to become one.
