Melting pot, multicultural myths fall to demography
Asia Times ^

...

There were many predictions back in the 1970s that demography and entitlements would be a lethal combination financially, culturally and politically. People made these observations before their countries’ fertility plunged and before some cities declared “sanctuary cities” status, guaranteeing lodging, health and education to anyone who arrived there.

Those pessimists had not given up on the American ideal of the “melting pot.” Their analyses were based on the view that when certain policies impact a large number of people quickly, creating customs and sustaining traditions incompatible with what made the US click, and more broadly incompatible with Western principles and institutions, the pot would “unmelt.”

The recent pro-Palestinian mobs, most participants covering their faces – as criminals have always done, although demonstrators against Hamas do not – show that the United States’ “melting pot” myth as well as Europe’s “multi-culturalism” were academic abstractions.

Neither works when, within a short period of time, massive number of immigrants join the country – and the voting pot but not the “melting pot” – sticking to habits and traditions that do not overlap with the West’s fundamental institutions.

Confucius was right: “Human nature is alike – habits of thought make us different.” Indeed, habits are rock, whereas laws are sand, as the declines in law enforcement over the last few decades in both the US and Western Europe, rationalized by a great deal of heavily subsidized academic jargon, so amply demonstrate.

Bullcrap.

The people forcing the demographic changes, KNEW they would have these effects, and intended those effects as a weapon to destroy Western, Christian civilization.

An old vanity of mine from FR, on this topic, over 16 years ago. Long before even Lord Pharaoh 0moeba.

The American “melting pot” has been taken to the landfill. America is the world’s septic tank now. We get all the world’s sewage.

Multiculturalism is a failure, diversity is a failure, inclusion is a failure, equity is a failure. We simply need Americans who are proud and willing to be American, we need to judge people by their merit and not their color of their skin.

We should embrace UNITY, and fight diversity, or else we will not have a country.

Well, a lot it is cultural. America’s traditional culture was rooted in England of the 1600s and early 1700s. After our independence, we and England evolved culturally in two different directions. But we and all Anglophone countries are still more culturally alike than any others. The further
you go geographically from England, the more diverse the culture and more difficult to assimilate. There are a few exceptions, like Japan and upper caste Indians which arecwesternized. The Islamic world is the FURTHEST from us culturally and is not just DIFFERENT, but totally antithetical to our culture.

It is and was bullcrap all along.

Just couched in happy talk to make it sound egalitarian.

The goal of mass non-White “immigration” into the US is simply to drown the American nation and kill it as a world force.
