Europeans will have an easier time than non-Europeans of assimilating in a country founded by Europeans, settled by Europeans, and predominantly populated by those of European descent, all of whose public institutions were founded by those of European descent.

Except the Europeans of the 21st Century do not resemble the Europeans who immigrated here in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries. Modern Europeans are primarily socialists. An immigrant from Hong Kong or Taiwan likely speaks English and is more likely to embrace independence and capitalism than his European counterparts.

In 1990, 10.4% of Chinese immigrants in the United States received welfare, as opposed to 3.7 % of British immigrants, 4.1% of German immigrants, and 4.8% of French immigrants, according to Appendix 3 of Peter Brimelow's "Alien Nation." Chinese immigrants are also quite fond of bringing over their parents, to enroll them in various government goodie giveaways. (To be fair, the Taiwanese level of welfare participation was comparable to the Europeans, at 4.2 %)

The welfare participation rate of Mexican immigrants, by the way, was 11.3%.
