Oh boy, I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but it needs to be said. In the first chapter of "The Great Gatsby", Tom comments on the downfall of the white race seem racist and "insane"... right? Well, no. Yes, his comment is racist, however that doesn't mean that this comment is not without some grain of truth. Today we commonly hear that the U.S. is a "melting pot" where all cultures from around the world can share ideas, culture, and food. This is not a common sentiment just among Democrats either, many Republicans fall into this same ideological trap. In reality, the United States was originally built for white people and later the African Americans wrongly enslaved.
After our country became a "global powerhouse", all of a sudden our country gained some "responsibility" to take care of other countries problems, especially places like Mexico or Central America. When their economies collapse and crime rates go up from government corruption, somehow the responsibility shifts from the lawmakers in those countries to the United States. Because of this, many people from other countries simply claim that they are seeking refuges to try and get out of those countries and move into our nice, well-maintained country.
"But what does this have to do with Tom's comment?" you may be asking yourself. Simply adding more immigrants from other countries shouldn't lower the population too much, but as exponential quantities of immigrants are abusing our refugee systems to simply get into the country, saying that their is not a problem is an understatement. Not only this, but the aversion nowadays to having kids is also quickly shifting our population to be more brown and less white.

Now, what is the problem with America not becoming white anymore? That should be a good thing... right? The fact that whiteness is seen as a perversion, an oppressive force that anyone not white has to deal with is an outright disgrace. Somehow because I am of European descent, I'm a bad person and can't at all be proud of my ancestral heritage. Because of these changing demographics, it is not only predicted that whites will become a minority in America by 2043, but also that after that time Republicans will have no chance of ever winning an election ever again. If you think thats a good thing, good for you, but I think that a game without any competition is a bad game. Also, who's to say what the Democrats will be pushing for in 2043. Pedophile rights? Global government? Communism?
Maybe I am overeating, and maybe me thinking of the preservation of the white race as a positive thing is bad, but I really don't see why. Leave your thoughts in the comments.
