It is very easy to explain by an example: If the Palestinian people would get a country of their own, they would not like Europeans and Israelis to immigrate in large number every year so that the Palestinians themselves would eventually be a minority and having their Arabic language replaced by Hebrew or English.

Why do you assume these immigrants aren’t white? Are you waiting at the seaports and the airports watching them as they come in like I do? Because I can tell you that the majority of immigrants coming from Muslim countries are oppressed whites fleeing unjust demonization by the tyrannical regimes that dominate the Middle East. Trying to get a hamburger in Mecca is like trying to find a non-molested child in the mausoleum of Michael Jackson, they are still pulling survivors out from that
The facts are that white caucasians represent the largest primary color group immigrating into the US. After the fall of Nazi Germany and the exile of the Norse from this realm, America is the last bastion of freedom left on this planet where those of us with Thule blood are not a minority, but even this is threatened. What our Teutonic ancestors fought for has been given away freely in this day and age
But attacking immigrants is hardly the answer because they are not the problem. The reason why South Korean, Japan, and Israel are not encouraged as the US is to welcome immigrants is simply because of the whitening process. Notwithstanding the fact that most immigrants to the US are white, the combination of conservative schools and chemicals, such as the flourides in water, in this country is the #1 cause of skin bleaching in the world. Even people who are ethnically black or Hindu or gay eventually end up like your typical Robert Byrd in the 40’s and later a Roman Senator
Just before your post, I explained why: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14036069&postcount=99
You are wrong. The Immigration Act of 1924 sought to maintain an ethnic status quo by favoring immigrants from Northwestern Europe. There is nothing “racist” in trying to maintain an ethnic status quo. The U.S. needed quotas because it was apparent that some ethnicities were not assimilating as well as the Northwestern ones. You know, there was no “Political Correctness” in those days. It was only the interest of the American People that mattered.
First of all that’s untrue. Second, it has nothing to do with what I said. Without the wave of post WWII. Immigration, we would quickly have become a backwater. We depend almost entirely on Chinese, Indian, and other immigrant scientists and mathematicians for pushing our technological and economic development and we depend almost entirely on Latin American, Vietnamese and other labor to keep our industrial and service sectors churning. And there’s nothing new about this. Almost all the prosperity and progress that the United States has ever achieved or enjoyed is due to massive immigration. Those few periods in which immigration diminished are the times that we have slumped. By the way, in the United States, immigrants are net tax *payers[/]. It’s old white people who are draining our social capital.
Where to begin. Okay, are the British Northern European or not? Why would Northern European descendants be taught that Nazi-style concentration camps originated with the Brits when they didn’t? Hint - the Brits weren’t using the camps to systemically exterminate the Boers from the face of the earth. If the Boer war was a war against civilians, what were the Boers doing mobilizing all those Commandos?
It is racist if it discriminates against our Southern European brethren. You seem to have a funny idea that all the anglos are solely concentrated in NW Europe when in fact the last barbarian invasion and sacking of Rome drove the Saxons across the boundaries of continents and time. Now it is not unusual to find an albino (a blessed reminder of our ancestors) in the jungles of Africa or in the Pre-Cambrian era. Your Political Correctness exposes your wrongheaded favoritism for these NW Europeans, when you should be celebrating the exansion of our ethnic purity into the South.
Him. I’m Male.
I disagree that the comparison is “lame”. I deliberately picked Iceland because it was and remains culturally insular like Japan and has a unique language linked to that culture, like Japan. Unlike the Japanese though, they have not embraced isolationism and I explained why.
Great Britain is a poor comparison. Historically speaking they ruled a sprawling empire across the globe, ( not a local empire sharing many cultural ties like the Japanese) and founded little colonies everywhere. They weren’t just a cultural exporter, they were a cultural steamroller. English and it’s variants is a widely spoken trade language utilized fluently in any number of countries and not linked to any one home cultural group. That isn’t an apt starting point for discussing the differences in immigration policy. You are comparing apples and oranges.
No, Yog, we’re talking about real white people here.
:dubious: Yes, there is, Raleigh, and, yet again, you fucking know it.
Perhaps what the OP means: Why are cities like London, Oslo, and Amsterdam are full of non-whites? While Tokyo and Seoul are largely homogeneous. Not sure how Israel fits in, though.
Anyway, per Wiki: “estimated 28 % of Oslo’s residents are of an immigrant or non-Norwegian background”. Amsterdam: “Today, people of non-Western origin make up approximately one-third of the population of Amsterdam, and more than 50% of children”. In London, there are YouTube videos of strolls through Peckham with hardly a white person visible.
The indications are these are fairly recent immigrants, was it a decision by that bloc of countries to admit so many? And that countries like Japan and Korea could pass on?
I don’t think it’s racist to say if I were to walk down a street in Oslo, I would be shocked to see 1 in 3 people not being a blonde-haired blue-eyed Scandinavian. Like meeting me in Hawaii: seeing an easily-sunburnt white haole boy, rather than a ukulele-strumming tanned kane
The problem is, that is like asking why fish don’t have tits while seals do. Cultures are simply different from one another based on history, geography and any number of other factors.
A more serious answer would include that Affluent European cities are more welcoming to immigrant populations who do not mind working the menial positions in exchange for getting to live in a stable, prosperous country with good opportunities for their children. First world Asian countries and most of the developing world still has a huge base of uneducated poor to do the work, and their family oriented, insular culture is a stumbling block to immigrants. One that is not outweighed by the benefits of attempting to integrate into it.
In other words, while it might be worth moving to Tokyo to purse a high end career in the sciences, it isn’t worth the hassle to open a dry cleaners or wax floors.
The Nazis did not invent concentration camps, true. But they invented death camps which is where the gas chambers were and most of the Holocaust victims perished.
Yup, though the Japanese do want them. And they don’t have that uneducated base of cheap native labor anymore.
See My Post #78 above.
The Japanese DO want cheap immigrant labor. But they also don’t want to treat many immigrant laborers like human beings. So, they want the immigrants with one hand but deny them decent treatment with the other. Color me surprised that immigrant laborers choose not to go to a country that wants to pay and treat them poorly (and children of immigrants will never be citizens). At least in Western Europe (or “Northern”), they don’t have the same level of discrimination/poor treatment and the children of immigrants have a valid shot at social advancement.
South Korea is getting to be the same way. Though due to a demographic mismatch (more men than women due to selective abortion/child abandonment), there’s a growing number of wives imported from other countries. That aspect has helped (very, very slightly) cut down on the racism in that country. Of course, if unification with North Korea does occur, there’s going to be no shortage of poorly educated cheap labor for a generation.
It would be much easier y’know, if the Europeans, Japanese, and Korean just had more kids. Its one of the great ironies of history that has societies have grown richer and more able to afford kids they have had less kids.
It’s not ironic at all. In poor, agrarian societies, kids are a resource. You can’t afford not to have lots of kids if some are going to die in childhood and you need them to work the farm. In rich countries, kids are an expense.
I think you are making the whole issue way to complicated. It is as simple as the “Political Correctness”-revolution in the 60s. The politicians in North Europe and North America rather wanted to make ethnic suicide than facing the risk of being called a racist by the “Political Correct”-media. If there was a referendum about immigration, the answer would be a clear NO! In Sweden, there was a referendum in the 80s about immigration:

A subject you have repeatedly made clear you do not understand, or else maliciously persist in misrepresenting.
As I remember Pat Buchanan, the Nazis didn’t start the death camps until it was obvious that they were going to lose the war. So if Churchill had struck a deal with Hitler, letting him reunite all the scattered Germans, then there would be no Holocaust.
I was going to post some of the lyrics to “Minority”, but when I looked them up I saw that I had forgotten just how bad Green Day’s writing is. But I am pretty sure they were all of Northern European descent.
