Mass immigration has been going on since the 60s. It's one of the reasons why crime was so high in the 80s. You know what's gone way up since then? The prison population. The US has the highest per-capita incarceration rate in the world: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2page1.stm Who are the people in the prisons? https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_ethnicity.jsp 33.6% Hispanic, 37.8% Black. So, yes, crime has gone down since the 80s, but only because we started imprisoning millions of minorities. Furthermore, this has nothing to do with 'scapegoating'. Even disregarding the economic and legal burdens, diversity significantly reduces social capital in a community, as the groups have different cultural norms and ideologies. You still haven't addressed why whites are the only race not allowed to live among those of the same race in peace.
You say that like Clinton appeals more to Bernie voters than Trump does. In reality, Trump and Bernie both appeal to the same working-class demographic. Just look at their views on free trade. Trump's America First policy is probably pretty appealing to those people who were screwed over by big businesses and Wall Street, while Hillary is literally the candidate of Wall Street.
This is certainly not a one-off. The more egregious the hypocricy and injustices are, the more people will be drawn to the Trump movement. Sure, Trump isn't the best candidate, but he's the first to explicitly appeal to nationalism in a long time.
I've already argued about this:
Immigration policy was explicitly white for nearly two centuries. It only changed in 1965 against the will of the people. |
In the 21st century people are simply going to have to learn to live with people of different ethnicities.
Yes in the past people lived in isolated locations more or less with similar ethnicities, but they also didn't have airplanes, ships, the global stock market, internet, global pop culture, electricity, or even working toilets either. Obviously humanity is going to evolve in a different way from here on out, our technology (and economy) has simply changed that.
If we had this level of technology in the 15th century for example, the world would also look very different than the arbitrary way it settled into. We know from human history, that there are constant human migrations, and this was just people (basically) walking on foot through huge continents.
Beyond that, the Americas are not the ethnic home of "white people" anyway, so if we're going to do the whole "go back to where your ethnicity originated from" then go back to Europe I guess?
No "race" has any right to dominion over 60% of the land mass and 80%+ of the world's resources anyway. If I saw an alien planet and that was their set up I would call bullshit on that too, because it's objectively just wrong. If people want to live on this planet, they need to learn to fucking share, it's a common thing that everyone is taught from age 2 onwards, but it doesn't sink in for a lot of people it seems.
One the big reasons why America is even still a global powerhouse is because they DO suck up a lot of talented PhDs, scientists, doctors, etc. from China and India. The "average" American, I hate to say it is fucking lazy (8 minute Abs? Why? Because you can't spend even 10 minutes on your physical fitness in a 24 hour day?) and there is an obsession with money/fame instead of knowledge/education, American test scores are mediocre considering American students have benefits and facilities people in other countries couldn't even dream of.
