I've seen no evidence that even begins to suggest the map controls for things like socioeconomic status, income disparity, population density, or any other factors.


It doesn't, nor does your map, though mine is using a single objective metric rather than a combined metric.

I don't want to get involved in the argument, but I'd like to put my opinion down.

Other "races" (We're all human. I seriously don't see the point in "races") are fine. Immigrants are fine. Actually, immigrants are great.

Want to know what's bad? Illegal immigrants. I mean, Illegal is in the definition. I don't think anyone would disagree that illegal immigrants aren't beneficial. (no I am not one of those people who says "immigrants is stealing our jobs".)

Anyway, that was mildly off topic. As for the OP, Preserving cultural heritage is important. Preserving heritage in general is important. Racial purity? Mehhhh...not really that important, honestly. Blacks and Hispanics do tend to do more crime (yes there are statistics for this), but mainly because of poverty and poorer education, not "race".

Yes.

I incidentally find it very amusing, in light of how much disdain they would view you with, specifically because of that underlined statement, the fact that here you are, adopting the very same rhetoric that those racists would use against you (as a precursor to insisting on your immediate departure to Mongolia or whatever) against other cultural groups that have made use of the same opportunities that either you or your parents, or your granparents (etc) made use of.

America is reaching a ‘tipping point’ when the babies born to minority parents outnumber whites for the first time.

More white women than ever before are postponing having children until they are older, while minority mothers are still having babies at younger ages, according to a US study published yesterday.

Experts claim the immigration boom has accelerated the historic trend that is likely to leave whites in the minority in America by the middle of the century.

My map? I didn't present one.

Your map does use a single metric, although 'objective' is a bit optimistic.

But you did claim that we weren't just discussing correlation. Indeed, you claimed a definite cause-relationship, and claimed that "You can control for things like socioeconomic status, income disparity, etc...".

Okay, where's the evidence that all factors other than 'race' were controlled for?

Racial Purity=Inbreeding=Genetic Diseases

Racial Diversity=Genetic Mixing=Improved Resistance to Disease and far less Genetic Diseases

From a purely technical standpoint, the idea of racial purity is stupid. Never mind throwing in ethical beliefs, I do believe that a certain genocide involving a certain Nazi Germany killed tens of millions of innocent people in the farcical quest for the bullshit concept that is racial purity. As for illegal immigration, attempting to shut it down is one step down that same path. So Racial Purity is unimportant.

Ukraine had a demographic crisis as well, they've since turned around their drop in fertility rate, mostly by government policies designed to increase fertility rates, rather than through immigration.

Probably because being an immigrant from another country is hard. Immigrants from Mexico and such generally do not have education, and it usually is not available to blacks and hispanics. Without education, you can't have a well paying job, without a well paying job, you can't afford good education, and the US has an absolutely terrible public school system.

Tens of millions? Where are you getting your numbers from? The Nazis didn't kill tens of millions, unless you're counting soldiers in combat. And I'm bored of the Nazis always being wheeled out as the the specter of genocide. Let's talk about the Ottomans or the Rwandans for a change.

Do you have any way to prove that immigration makes more jobs?


http://www.factcheck.org/2010/05/does-i ... cost-jobs/

It makes sense.

Listen for a bit, even if you disagree.

When immigrants come in, more consumers are created. These consumers increase demand for already existing products, which leads to an increase in supply, which leads to an increased standard of living.

These immigrants are also productive. They work. This is beneficial for the nation. Many even set up their own businesses. This, again, increases wealth, and creates jobs, as well as increasing competition.

Many of the unskilled immigrants do jobs which otherwise there is no supply for. Most workers are skilled, and as such go for higher end jobs. Demand, however, for these jobs still exists. So, they benefit people by creating a supply.

Not to mention that many immigrants are educated and skilled labourers coming to the country with a job offer. This is because a company has chosen this person because they find him to be the best person for the job. He will be the most productive out of the range of possible applicants. This in turn improves the efficiency with which resources are used.

In competing, they often lower their prices in order to remain competitive. And that's fine again. Because good wages are still offered to skilled workers. Why? Because companies also compete for labour. A quantitative way of competition is based on the "price" (the salary). To attract the best workers. Qualitative factors would include such things like working conditions, opportunities for promotion, etc.

Japanese are fiercely protective of their culture, living space being a very secondary issue. You can live in Japan all your life, speak Japanese with no accent, be a citizen of Japan, have a Japanese wife and children that are Japanese citizens, but you will never be regarded as Japanese yourself. You will always be seen as merely well-integrated gaijin (Westerner), and the Japanese people will still hold their usual politeness towards you, they will tolerate your presence, but they will never fully accept you as one of their own.

That's how positive "racism" works in practice. Can't say it hasn't worked out well for the Japs - their country is still among the world's most powerful and advanced, yet it hasn't turned into a multicultural Third World cesspool like the States or Western Europe. Standing up for their national identity and culture seems to come natural for them - there is no trend or fashion that would exist somewhere in the world and not have a following in Japan, and yet all these folks following foreign fads are keenly aware of their Japanese heritage. You won't ever see a Jap trying to be anything else but Jap, unlike whiggers and their ilk - a Jap might follow a subculture to an extent, but his self-identity will always be Japanese and nothing else.
Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The world is full of criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. The most successful ones are known as states.

Life is like surfing the Internet - there's no meaning or purpose, yet you don't really want to quit either.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.

My parents didn't trespass on unwanted lands and abuse a the system with criminal acts such as stealing social security numbers to gain employment or returning to where they came after committing a felony to escape justice. Its not a culture issue. People from other cultures have entered the US and other countries legally several times and do so to this day. Stop trying to pull a racist card to try to instantly win the argument. The United States or any nation has as much of an obligation to take in unwanted immigrants as much as you have an obligation to give a homeless stranger your couch and food and money because he has fallen on hard times. That is, none.
