Take one of my friends for example. We'll call him Johnny for the purposes of this. Johnny's parents are from China. Johnny speaks fluent Chinese. But Johnny was born in Ireland and has lived here his whole life. He speaks Irish as well as or better than I do and has always been an Irish citizen.

So tell me. What makes Johnny any less Irish than I am?

His name. Seriously. Couldn't have been Paddy Wong? Rory Hung? Sean Chin?

Sad. Then again, who cares?

I think the misunderstanding the OP has is that somehow Western society is tied to the white race. I agree that the white race will be in decline, and Western society will also be in decline populationwise, but I don't agree there's necessarily any connection between the two.

Tell me... how does one 'speak Irish'?

Is it anything like speaking Limey?

Nope. It's a language, completely separate from English.

It's also confusing as fuck, but there you go.

Yeah, most non-Irish people I meet seem to make the same mistake, so you're in good company.

A reason I would not want to live in Europe (a.k.a. Eurabia). Britain is foolish to allow this. Their culture will be destroyed. It is sad that many traditions will be lost.

I guess we might see white flight from the cities (like in the USA) to the villages. Villages will be white and cities mixed.

The Africa for the Africans and Asia for the Asians argument is valid. China and Malaysia are free to discriminate but ask the average liberal and they will be cool with it. It is fine to discriminate against others as long as you are not white. Only whites can be racist people. Everybody else is just trying to protect their great culture.

China has the strategy of flooding Tibet and Xinjiang with Han Chinese to gain full control of those areas via population. The Arabs have the same idea with Europe. It is a brilliant and simple idea that will work.

One fair idea would be 'eye for an eye' citizenship policies. We won't allow Chinese to become citizens in the USA or Britain until they allow non-Chinese people to become citizens of China. We can do this for any country that refuses citizenship based on race. This policy will encourage fairness and decrease discrimination around the world. Also a 'one for one' immigration policy for poor countries. For every one British or American person becoming a Pakistani citizen we will allow one Pakistani immigrant to become a British or American citizen. This is also fair and will slow down immigration from poor countries and make the population growth drop.
