I agree with Jacob
I don’t either
I grew up around the immigrant community and I've seen it all. Welfare fraud, visa fraud, child molestation, drug abuse, etc.
A lot of it is unreported because of how insular some of the communities are
Just watch the movie about Jan Levan starring jack black
“The Polka King”
I think a lot of people romanticize white immigration because they associate it with the settlers of the 19th century that had to go on multi month voyages and build their entire lives from scratch
The ones we get today have their hands held the entire process
My dad, for example, got refugee status for a totally bogus reason and had organizations helping him get set up the moment he got here
My fiancé’s little Cousin, son of an immigrant, referred to white pilgrims as “the enemy” in relation to the natives when talking about what his school project was about. His father is a failure.
And a liberal.
Right. People talk about how increasing white immigration is going to "boost our numbers" or whatever. It really isn't. If the US turns into a South Africa scenario, a lot of immigrants are going to side with the non-whites.
“Well, the WASPs said that the Irish and the Italians would change the country too!”
They did.
What a terrible example.
“People previously have said the same thing.” Yes. They were right then too.
You’re going to move to my country for opportunities for yourself, but you won’t teach your kId to respects my ancestors, my history? Gtfo of here
>When the people watching our activism videos know we had no crowd of people to demonstrate in front of
Thank God all the immigrant whites assimilated way better than nonwhites and we decided to get along or we’d be in so much shit
We also gave more of a shit about integrating
With very few exceptions, race is the hard line of assimilability.
@Valaska the lady ‘grasping the fence’ meme.

3 of my great-grandparents were immigrants (technically four but Canada’s not a real country,) and it’s pretty much impossible to differentiate me from someone of purely colonial extraction. Meanwhile, there are racial groups in this country which have not assimilated for centuries.

"With very few exceptions, race is the hard line of assimilability."
Exactly. The reason I consider myself a *white* identitarian isn't because I believe in some pan European fantasy, it's because I believe there's hope for assimilation among people of European heritage who are already here. Although I don't support further European immigration, I'm not going to go back and demand than Irish or whatever be remigrated. We can acknowledge that although communities of recent immigrants are almost universally dysfunctional, but still acknowledge that by the third generation they're generally okay.
@ophiuchus yeah every immigrant group sees "immigrant" as part of their identity. Which is why I told my 2nd Gen northern Italian coworker yesterday that in New America, only whites can vote and immigrants can only vote after 3 generations so as not to disrupt the the native vote. He didn't like it until I told him I was joking.... Kind of but really
^ I would support that
@FACINEMA how did you get that cloudy effect on your text
wut
Its a screen shot fam
Oh I was gonna say
It's true though. Generationally his father is Italian, speaks Italian, and loves Italy. His son doesn't speak Italian but still has a slight affinity for Italy and travels there occasionally. But his kids will have about as much attachment to Italy as I do to Germany which is nothing at all.
He used the “black people meme” filter.
Statred my sandbag pile for my wall today.
I'm not self hating or whatever. I genuinely care about my fellow 2nd generation immigrants, but part of caring about them is acknowledging that our community has a lot of problems.
