My controversial take.


People around the world developed cultures, traditions, languages, religions, and technologies over thousands of years. Those cultures evolved because of isolation from other cultures due to geographical isolation before there was any faster way to travel than by walking, by water, and in some cases by animal.
There were/are sophisticated cultures in the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia, as well as on islands.
European colonialism sought to destroy cultures in order to steal land, riches, resources and labor.
If we discount the existence of indigenous people, the Americas are composed of immigrants. First came the Spanish and Portuguese, then the English and French. The United needed lots of new immigrants to push westward across the continent. Those immigrants provided brains and labor.
Due to conflict in their own countries and the promise of opportunity in the U. S., waves of immigrants from Germany, northwestern Europe, Ireland, Italy, eastern Europe, China, Japan, and places all over the world, found their ways to this country. Half of this country once belonged to Mexico, so there have always been Mexicans in this country. Many people from Mexico, central and south America are descended from indigenous people. North American indigenous people were not completely wiped out, either. And, of course there were Africans who were brought here against their will.
So that's America. It is literally a land of immigrants. And those immigrants have contributed a great deal to America's greatness. America has been characterized as a melting pot, but it's more like a salad bowl.
Refugees from totally different cultures are currently causing problems in ethnically and culturally homogeneous European countries right now, thanks to wars of U. S./European colonialism. But immigrants have always made the U. S. stronger through diversity.
The culture of the USA is based on English culture and we speak English. But it is not a "white" country. And all the various cultures have enriched this country tremendously. I freaking love that about America.
So I don't care about ethnicity as long as they want to be Americans once they are here.
All we need to worry about is insuring that immigrants to this country have good intentions. We can't allow enemies, terrorists, drug dealers, and other criminals to cross our borders undetected. But their race, ethnicity or the color of their skin is immaterial.
America isn't a bastion of "white" people. Caucasians are from Europe.
According to the US constitution all persons (inclusive of all races) in the US either born or naturalized are citizen's of the United States. So my answer to your question is, no. I don't believe it should remain white. Even thinking that it should remain white is not only racist it goes against the US constitution. Don't get me wrong , white US citizens deserve their space just as much as any other race in the US, but anyone suggesting it should remain predominantly white goes against their own Constitution. For example: If the population becomes predominantly black in 50 years, it would not matter because they are citizens of the United States and entitled to life, liberty, and property just like everyone else. Your constitution does not see color why should its citizens?
Excerpt from US Constitution...
Amendment XIV.
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.
(Note: Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution was modified by
Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.)
SECTION 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
What should be is not relevant because life doesn't operate on what should be or what is right. The fact is, if Mexicans are not white, the USA will not remain a majority white unless whites decide to kill Mexican in large numbers unless they return to Mexico.
It’s up to public , depends on how many kids a couple wants.
It’s not government issue

Isn't America famously a "melding pot"? If American-caucasians want a white-dominant country they can go to one of the countries with an actual Caucasian ethnicity named after them. Like Greece, or Russia. Or they can even go "back to Britian" or wherever their ancestors came from.
In fact you know who the real "American" ethnic groups are? Native Americans. And they are much further from a majority right now than white people. If anything, shouldn't America be majority Native Americans? Or have you even considered that?
According to the logic in your question there's a. . .
Mexican majority in Mexico, a
Japanese majority in Japan, and a
Korean majority in Korea
. . . therefore, there should be a white majority in America? Your reasoning does not make logical sense. If there's a Mexican majority in Mexico and a Japanese majority in Japan, then there should be an American majority in America, not a white majority. Americans don't have to be white. You assume that non-white Americans are not Americans, which is untrue
I don’t care what race people are in America. I just want them to be patriotic Americans that will live and die for the principles set forth in the constitution. I want individuals that live for liberty. More often than not minorities lack that capacity and gravity to the communist totalitarian dictatorship hive mind and try to corrupt the principles and institutions of America. Those people need to fuck off regardless of their race. If you find some White ones like that, you can give them a free helicopter ride out of here as well.
No, because that is arbitrary and stupid. First of all, I just want to point out how this is asking for a "safe space" for white people, which I find utterly hilarious in the context of Republicans being upset about women wanting a safe space in various public settings but I digress.
Back on topic; Why would anyone care about the majority race in any given country? "Race" does not exist. We made it up. Why should we base a limitation on personal freedoms based on something we know is false?
Not really. We enough diversity if African Americans, Asian Americans or Hispanic Americans become a majority so be it but we should control better immigration and secure our boarders.
Like we need immigration and immigration from Mexico so why not decide how many we need and can take each year and make it easy for them
United States should done what Hungary did, United States becoming a third world country.
I’m sorry? You think that “American = White?” Um…no.
Controlling immigration is important. It does, indeed, matter that your country has a majority of native citizens. You don’t want to be overwhelmed by newcomers all at once. So, I think America should be “majority American.” …but what does skin color have to do with that?
You seem to be (intentionally or otherwise) concealing bigotry beneath national identity.
Democrats would love to replace white people in this country with a horde of illegal aliens that will be dependent on welfare and keep voting them onto office. The problem is that the people who do all the work and pay all the taxes will get sick of this and that will be the end of america.
I do not, but I believe legislation should occur to preserve our history, culture and borders and that English must be the national language. Many ethnicities (Italians, Poles, Germans) learned it become us and that preserved our cohesiveness. I myself have contributed to the browning of America and I have no problem with it.
Anyone who really does value diversity must also value segregation. For diversity cannot persist without segregation.
Otherwise its only a matter of time before natural inter-marriage would abolish all distinctiveness between mankind.
Forming a single homogeneous human population.
In terms of survival this would be a very bad thing.
Compared to those countries, America is characterized as being a melting pot for all the people of the world to live in. On the statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." It isn't supposed to be a majority white country. It's supposed to be a haven for all people. Something you blue anons don't seem to understand and spam all the time about.
No. But I believe all these damn race questions should be banned from this site. I don't know if all these people are trolls, really racist, or just plain stupid. But regardless, this shit gets old.
Problem is the countries you mentioned all homogeneous.
The U. S. isn't a homogeneous country but rather a melting pot.
As for your question, I have no problem the U. S. remaining a white majority country.
It's going to remain that way anyways as the population of the U. S. is around 70% white.
America was majority native Indian, before they killed them off in droves. Hence it's laughable you want the illegal White immigrants to be the majority, but not the slaves they bought with them.
No- but you're free to find a nice white woman and breed an army of children, if that's your desire.
I’m not white
Well, you still are, but I guess you're also free to suggest that white people do it.
Everyone deserves the RIGHT to acquire their own space- big difference.
But in regards to your question, your analogy is flawed. Japan:Japanese and Mexico: Mexican do NOT equate to US:white.
People like you created concentration camps. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. You stole your country from the red man you fucking hypocrite.
They never had a country, just a bunch of tribes conquering each other. If it wasn't for the white man America would still be in the stone age.
@RonStone45 If it wasn't for the white man you wouldn't be in America bro.
I wonder, does India ever ask that question about being majority brown?
I agree! White lives DO matter!!
We'll still have the plurality. There will be more whites than people of any other singe race here.
Guess our country isn’t the Land of the Free anymore. Actually, I don’t think it ever was.
Everyone should be free to live wherever they want to.
If anything Native Americans should be the majority
Mexicans are considered white. So you may have to define your racial terms, Heinrich.
I think it should remain majority White because I'm actually a good human being. Demographic integrity is priceless.
This is such a racist question
Nope.
