| These people never say "great replacement theory", because they know if they do then that firmly puts them in the "flat earther" aisle. So, we need to call it out when we see it. This is just not legitimate ideology, it's a form of white supremacy. |

| It's pervasive. Especially when it is people from the US commenting on the EU. |

| ▲ | jurgenburgen a day ago | parent | next [-] | | It’s MAGA ideology and commenters mentioning it are just revealing their red hats. Any Europeans regurgitating that _foreign_ ideology are pathetic. | | | |

| ▲ | RevEng 18 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It didn't happen in Canada, unless you mean the part where we rounded up all the natives and put them on reserves. I'm a white Canadian born and raised in Canada and I am far from being a minority no matter where I go, from the prairies to the GTA. Conservatives keep talking about this like it's a thing, but they do so from their majority white communities. The only places you see large numbers of immigrants is in low paying service jobs and you can thank the exploitive hiring practices of major companies like Tim Hortons - the people there are slaves living under the constant threat of deportation if they disappoint their employer/owner. It's also worth noting that those white people concerned about becoming ethnic minorities are themselves immigrants. British and French colonists; German, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Irish; Hutterite and Mennonite - all immigrants, many within just the last few generations. For as long as Canada has been a country, it has been made up of many groups of different ethnicities, all immigrants. "White" isn't an ethnicity. | | |

Vancouver is down to 45%. GTA 43% white. If you are in tech or government or banking or any large corp you are a minority. Things have changed. | | |
| ▲ | vrganj 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | If you are a native American, y'know, the actual native people of Canada, you've been a minority in your own damn country for centuries. Those damn whites did their Great Replacement a long time ago. Foreign invaders displacing the native culture. | | |

Loves football, takes his children to the local playground, etc. What threatens me is imbeciles that believe in great replacement and 14 words about future for white children. Keep your racism across the pond and try not to breed with siblings. | | |
| ▲ | ipaddr 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | Just to clarify, you don't believe that the white population will be replaced in your country or you welcome it? | | |
| ▲ | surgical_fire 19 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I both don't believe that the white population is being replaced, and even if it was, I don't care. I am not a racist, my family tree does not resemble a circle. Issues of migration and fertility rate are related to structural incentives and constraints, level of urbanization, economic development, etc. I want my country to prosper. It won't prosper by closing itself off to migration. I hope it attracts more researches and highly educated people from around the world, especially now that the US is shunning them. | | |

| ▲ | surgical_fire 18 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > The natives in Europe are white. You are bundling a lot of ethnicities, many of those who historically had major grievances amongst themselves, in race bullshit very specific to the US. A "white" label is very meaningless this side of the pond. I have little patience for this shit, the US truly is a sick place if your rhetoric is what it produces. | | |
| ▲ | ipaddr 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I understand white people not identifying with each other and supporting each other. Other racial groups stick together and that's why you are hearing people say wake up from across the pond. In the end what you don't value will disappear including your nation. | |
| ▲ | convolvatron 16 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | one thing that largely undermines even the notion of US whiteness is that 50 years ago the definition of white was very different. Italians were swarthy and not properly white. Irish, while ostensibly white in color, were a degenerate race. Half of the 'white' people in the US are race traitors because they just don't believe in this crap in the first place, and apparently they are on the chopping block too. Arbitrary bigotry always finds a way to claim that it represents a truth. |

| ▲ | vrganj 15 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | > The natives in Europe are white. This is such a silly way to out yourself as absolutely clueless. I would invite you to go to Croatia and explain to them how they're the same ethnicity as Serbians and they even speak the same goddamn language. Please stop making grand proclamations about how our continent should act when it's obvious you don't understand even the most basic conditions. | | |
| ▲ | ipaddr 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If we went to Croatia and Serbia both wouldn't concern themselves white or they wouldn't consider the other as white? What would they call themselves? I think they would consider themselves white from a different nations. Many north american natives come from different tribes but they are still Indian. Same thing. | | |
| ▲ | vrganj 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | They'd consider themselves Croatian and Serbian. Whiteness is an American construct that is absolutely meaningless and smushes literal millenia of history into OBE category because your country's history is so short. Please refrain from spreading nonsense you clearly know nothing about. |

Telling anyone in the balkans they are the same as their neighbors because they are white will always be a fun exercise. Except Greeks of course, who are widely recognized to be north African. |

| ▲ | ipaddr 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't see Asian countries like Japan, Korea or China welcoming in masses of other nationalities. I see African countries trying to push out white populations. Iran/Iraq or Israel isn't opening their doors to Indians or Africans or .... I don't see India allowing Africans to migrate or Chinese or.... Why should white majority countries loses their white majority and power while other countries keep their nation states? |

| ▲ | goatlover 20 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | What if I told you the history of humanity is migration and mixing? That populations don't stay the same over time? That there were even other hominids sharing the planet with for a long time, some of which migrated to places before we did. | | |
| ▲ | ipaddr 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | History of humanity is conqoring other tribes. Those other hominds don't exist anymore with some humans carrying a small percentage of their dna. White majority countries will become another majority race because people like yourself don't see any value in people with white skin. Other races do and they will represent the future. China is still going to be Chinese so is Japan going to remain Japanese, so is India going to remain Indian. They see their value. White majority countries have been told they have no value and they will disappear. |
