It is western ideals, and not western people, who hold together western civilization.

I sure hope you guys aren't implying that ONLY white people have held this country together.

You all are beginning to sound vaguely like you're reading from the David Duke playbook.

Correct, except they are getting less vague all the time.

What a fine demonstration of reading comprehension - hope you didn't pull a muscle.

I'd be REALLY interested in hearing how you gleaned this from either of our posts.

Where did I say anything about white people? It is Western people who hold together Western civilization. Westerners are mostly of European dissent, i.e. white, but there certainly are people of different backgrounds who have adopted the West and made themselves a part of it.

However, if you overwhelm Western civilization with outsiders, it will cease to be Western. It's that simple. There's no racism or doctrine of racial superiority invovled in this argument.
