I've got a theory of my own: anyone afraid of being "replaced" isn't that great, and should actually be replaced. Bigots, feel free to go back where you came from.

US uses predominantly black slaves to achieve in a century what other countries did in a millennia
Free's slaves
US: "Thank you black people for what you've done for this country."
Black people: "And...?"
US: "And... now, get the fuck out."
Trump is throwing up shit everywhere just to see what sticks. He also promised billionaires that he is going to hand out an unlimited number of green cards to foreigners to work American jobs and lower American wages. Trump is actually an immigration extremist at both ends.

He's been doing this forever. He's THE flip flopper of all flip flopping.
GRT is one of the strongest ideological narratives of current racists.
Back in the days of the Nazis, the number of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africans forms France was tiny compared to the millions of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa into Europe today.
GRT is one of the strongest ideological narratives of current racists.
It really should be.
If I was illiterate racist redneck trash in the south, I'd be terrified when decent people who actually believe in work and are far better Christians than I always scream I am show up.
Trash is embarrassed when they're compared next to not-trash.
Your disdain for lower class people is repulsive.
I love lower-class people everywhere else.
Just not the racist filth in the south.
We ended reconstruction early.
Their cruelty towards those poorer than them (just because they had a different skin color) is even worse.
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.
