Would you become a nationalist if it meant preserving your country's ethnicity?

They are saying even in Britain white people will be a minority in the west

No one has time for your big words and your long paragraphs. Keep the comments simple.

Fuck that. Ethnonationalism is retarded. In the first place, "Race" does not actually exist, every state has always been a collection and mixture of people and cultures and there have perhaps never been a better example of this than the bloody British!

Sadly, getting the whole clip of this is not as easy as it used to be but whatever:

Point is, it was "multiculturalism" that created the very idea of the "white people" you are so proud of in the first place and is essential in its continued success. Multiculturalism has been proven again and again to be the thing that makes countries greater than they used to be.

People who hold onto their cultural identity like you are the people that history has forgotten about because they contributed nothing to the world as a whole.

Race exists.

[Soteris]

No it does not. As in, it objectively does not exist and biologically the very idea of human races are patently absurd.

[RagnarRedbeard]

How has multiculturalism been proven to make countries greater?

[Asker]

Please explain how races dont exist when you can see them with your eyes

[Soteris]

Optical illusions are also things you can "see with your own eyes", does not make them any more real though. The truth is that there is no evidence for the existence of human races. What you would require to prove this would be a definition of what a race is. Something we can measure and make a distinction between the two with accuracy and independently.

The problem with this is that it is impossible to cleanly separate "races" because they blur so much in the middle where you want to divide them. This proves that there are not two different groups but one group with internal diversity.

As for why you think you can "see" a difference, that is just a natural part of your brain we usually call pattern recognition. It is not strictly limited to what is real either.

For example. What is the difference between a chair and a table? The difference between them is pretty much all in your head.

@RagnarRedbeard Without going into too much details, it increases innovation. Be it in art, technology or otherwise it introduces innovation and as such produces greater results which in turn benefits society as a whole. Pretty much every great nation and empire has a foundation of multiculturalism. Be it the Roman Empire or the British.

I love your answer @Soteris!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I wish more people were like you.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I honestly don't care, I am more of an individual except just being an American.

[menina]

Nope, I wouldn't do that. My country is open to people of different nations and ethnicities and I like that. Besides, there's a place for everyone in the world, that's why we have so many different people all over the planet.

Segregation, extreme nationalism, xenophobia and racism do more harm than good. They make a country go backwards instead of moving forward.

It seems that some colleges have gone off the deep end but overall it is not that big a deal. I don't mind people being whatever they choose provided they don't interfere with my life. I don't approve if they shout down or interfere with speakers they disagree with.

[jshm2]

That is what a racist, not nationalist, believes in, kiddo.

[Asker]

Race and nationality are the same thing

[Anonymous]

I'm an Irish nationalist but I guess it means something different than what you think

[WhiteBoyChill]

Wow. What a loser this guy deletes all my replies. I’ll be surprised if you don’t delete this one! You’re pathetic. Piss off Mfer

[FinalFantasyBro]

Believe me man don't feed in the troll

[Jamie05rhs]

That's not what nationalism means.

[Asker]

Whats it men

[monorprise]

Only we Americans really define our nations on ideological (pro-liberty) grounds. Most of the world including Europe defines nations around a core ethic/cultural group.

[Asker]

@monorprise a nation is a large tribe

[Jamie05rhs]

Nationalism is putting the interests of your country first over other countries.

Also, @monorprise is correct.

[Asker]

Yeah its common sense

[Soteris]

I also like how he chose the British which is so internally divided that they have separate national identities such as the Irish, Scottish, Scottish, Welsh and the English (unless you want to go even more granular such as Cornish etc..)

Going around the UK and talking about the "British people" might get you damn well attacked in the streets in certain areas at certain times from various groups that really dont like the English.
