considering how most cultures are adopting western values and culture through Hollywood and other western media and how much I like eastern cinema I dodn't see it as a major problem

This!

What exactly is "white culture"? The white race is as diverse as the next race, the culture of a Romanian is a million miles away from that of an American.

Is that suppose to be insulting somehow?

Haha, no of course not.



I don't even know where to begin. First and foremost, there is no "white" culture, or a "Western" culture, or hell, even a "British" culture. The main part of our culture: our political and economical philosophies are modelled on other cultures and schools of thought which have been developed at various points - both geographically and historically. The superficial stuff - fashions, cooking, etc... well, it doesn't really matter. As I said, they're superficial... and, generally, benefit from the global mix (and it's been going on for centuries... one of the main benefits of the British Empire, from the British point of view, is the improvements in our cuisine thanks to recipes and ingredients imported from the Orient and the Americas).

But that leads me on to my second point: The British Empire. The British Empire forced many cultural aspects onto its territories - British Common Law, Parliamentary Democracy (and superficial stuff - cricket, left-hand roads, etc), the cultural changes now are very much at the option of the countries. Nobody is trying to get off the globalization train, everybody is trying to jump on it. Ethnic foods are surviving in countries because the citizens like the taste of them, and are voting with their wallets.

I honestly don't see what the problem is. Let alone being scared of it.

yup saw that white i was searching

i am just concerned that we will have to leave our lifestyle slowly and obey to other cultures to survive


It's other cultures that need to be afraid of the West, it's crowding out the rest of the worlds cultures.

that we see right now

but the rasising power of china would one day make us follow them as that is where the money will be

China's too much of a closed society to achieve that.


Chinese foods? Fireworks? China-Town(s)?

Now race is not my main perspective on this issue but it's okay to put it like that (I would prefer culture and heritage). Either way this issue is one important reason why I want immigration into Europe to stop immediately, not just into my own country.

Our third biggest city in Sweden, Malmö with a population of over 300,000, is turning into a melting pot with lots of ghettos and crimes never before seen in our country. Of all people under the age of 20 in Malmö, Swedes are already in the minority! With our current rate of mass immigration (which has been record high in the last 5 years and it will only increase even further because our politicians just loosened the immigration laws) in less than two decades the same will have happened in all our big cities. People with foreign origins will be in the majority, at least if we're talking about the younger population.

Who knows what implications this will have but so far the signs are extremely worrying. Even mundane things such as changes in cultural preference & heritage bothers me. It sucks that Sweden won't feel like Sweden soon. A melting pot who ignores will not care about our history and culture. And the majority of youngsters will be into hiphop and gangster rap (not to speak of the serious issues such as crime, unemployment, struggling economy and well-fare system and changes in morality and behaviour in society).

If your country is like that, fine. All countries have different cultures, and I like that. If I travel to Athens in Greece I want to feel like I am in Greece, not little Asia. If I go to London I want to see England, not London the melting pot.


America is a nation built on immigration, it is also the most economically successful nation in the history of the planet. Immigrants are beneficial to the economy - labourers are labourers no matter where they come from, and increasing the amount of labour simply increases the economic capacity of the country. The economy struggles with welfare. Immigrants only speed up an existing problem with welfare systems, they do not create them.

Crime rates are linked to unemployment figures, which is linked to a struggling economy. Fix the welfare system, fix the economy, fix unemployment, fix crime rates.

The other points, sure, are your own opinions. I can't change those, nor do I have any desire to. But, from an economic stand point, immigrants are only beneficial to the economy, not a drain on it. Economics are not the only thing that matters, but they are one of the more important factors.

its called change it has occurred for ever  culture changes, people change people move. Society is dynamic , races mix cultures die others are born, its a bit like music  you have lots of different classes of music but they are just tributary's of the one musical river some grow large others dry up but they are all part of the one system.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Looking at history, shouldn't white people be more afraid of other white people as it's mostly been white people that has changed or destroyed the culture of other white people?

Why do you care so much about the decline of the white culture if you're in India? I'm not saying you can't be white if you live in India, but really, how does it matter so much to you what happens in western countries? Plus it's not like it's a huge deal, boo, people's skin will be a tad darker, how awful....


again this isn't just about skin colour,i don't even want to touch that topic as it will be the frenzy there

why it is importance to me? - cause i am from there thats why,current location doesn't day everything

 

i'm not saying immigration and tourism shouldn't happen,everybody should get there taste and have right to be different

it is just that,there was abundance of european and western culture before,now its more like whatever popular in hollywood,the whole world follows it

and because of power of us and serious immigrations problems from mexico,they are changing entertainment area and now everywhere you see only there culture

i might being a little prejudice but that is not towards dividing cultures and people,just that globalization is taking its toll on heritage and the right on different cultures to be themselves

is it wrong to ask for inviduality and differently?



1. What are the white culture, thinking, and likes? I seriously don't know. My culture, thinking, and likes are most probably different to yours.

2. Did you care much when Western countries dominated other cultures? That was fine to you, but this is not?

3. These changes are a normal part of history and in 1000 years everything will be different. I don't think you care about the ancient Egyptian culture dying, and the issue you're concerned about will be irrelevant sooner or later. Just enjoy life.

3. Why should 15% of the world population monopolise resources and wealth? If the Western countries have 15% of the world population it is only fair that they have 15% of the power and wealth. So the fact that "white culture" is becoming less relevant would just mean balancing things out, it was just unfair before...

4. I'm going to contribute to the decline of the white race by marrying an asian woman, and I don't care...
