""National Geographic." The other day someone sent me, in the midst of a conversation, an article by National Geographic. The article was entitled, "As America Changes, Some Anxious Whites Feel Left Behind." It was further subtitled, "Demographic shifts rippling across the nation are fueling fears that their culture and standing are under threat." Obviously they frame it in simplex terms of "skin colour" as if that was the only difference, rather than in terms of ethno-cultural identity and historical belonging. But that's to be expected for such liberal outlets. Anyway, the American girl depicted in a photo from the article is named Felyssa Ricco, shown above; she is not a Southerner, but a Northerner; she and her parents proudly display the Confederate Flag alongside the American Flag nonetheless, an apparently increasingly common phenomenon among the right side of the Euro-American majority. It's an apt photo for the article that followed. It was a sombre, very sad article. The people in the article speak of suddenly finding themselves outnumbered by aliens in a small Pennsylvanian town called Hazleton, as more and more poured in— Mestizos, who were attracted to the town by prospects of factory work, whose employers don't ask questions of legal status, because illegal work is cheap work. "You just know if you go to a public event, you know you are going to be outnumbered," one interviewee states. "You know you’re going to be the minority, and do you want to go?" In 2000, the small Pennsylvanian town was 95% Euro-American. By 2016, they made up less than half of the town, having found themselves replaced. The article is thoroughly discomfiting, especially, no doubt, for American readers. But in it we see the real Dreamers, the ones who dream that they will still be able to retain their own homeland which is being torn away from them piecemeal, by legal and illegal migration."
