Lucky you. Ten years ago you would have been prime time for Desert Storm. But undoubtedly you were in college or doing something more important. Me too. Sorry for being so mean to you, but I really do want to know why you seem to take such glee in seeing the "whites" (that wonderfully crude appellation for us) go down. It's not anything particular you've said; just a recitation of things. For instance, you wonder where the demographic wave will take us. Let me point out that said wave was never supposed to have washed over us in the first place. Why do I say that?

1) Most of the 'immigrants' in So. Cal. are there illegally. Barging into someone else's country illegally is not 'immigration', like the kind your family engaged in. It's invasion.

2) We were told that the 1965 Immigration Act would not impact us this way, explicitly. Except it did.

So what you take nonchalantly as some sort of act of nature, I take as an act of force and also deceit against a formerly free people. Why do I say 'formerly free'? Because if foreign nationals or their offspring who do not share our values can vote in our elections, then they can rule us. In which case, 'WE' ain't free no more. Why should I take that as just a 'demographic' change? It's the extinction of my right as an American not to be ruled by a foreign people (that's why we declared "independence").

There was no particular glee I had in the demographic changes per se, though I guess it could be read as such. When the Indians first came here (the vast majority after the 1965 Immmigration Act) many of them were engineers and scientists. Many of these people felt discrimination at their jobs in terms of promotions (i.e. the dreaded "glass ceiling") Today about a third of the engineers and computer scientists in Fortune 500 corporations are Asains but few go up to CEO level, VP level, or a high executive level. When you have the numbers, like the whites do presently, you pretty much make the rules and everyone has to follow them. If the numbers shift the rules of the game also shift. In Silicon Valley, for example, many Indians run their own businneses. Why? Because they've gotten together with other Indians and set up things the way they wanted. This would'nt have really been possible when we first came as the whites controlled everything. If there are, say, more Asains in Silicon Valley then whites (right now there are not) Asians will tend to run things, take the plumb jobs etc. I saw with my own eyes how many of my people were passed up for white people who I believed were less qualified. Now that we have the numbers, we can be somewhat more independent than we used to be. If the white numbers are less, then their control is correspindingly less. Let us say, also, that whites actually start abandoning California in droves. What will happen to their houses and businesses? They will have to sell them, of course. They will probably sell them cheap. Then we can take over. Remember that the upper-class whites have much more inherited money than people like I have and you can not economically compete with them. If they're gone people like me could potentially become dominant economic forces in California. The concern is what kind of society would develop if the whites left the area. Would it become a disaster area or would American culture survive even if the whites left. I don't know the answer to that. As for the 1965 Immigration Act, you are correct. Ted Kennedy said only 5,000 immigrants per year at most would be let in. Guess he got that wrong!
