re: #238 Dr Lizardo

Starting a few years ago, there were quite a few news reports about America becoming a minority-majority nation sometime by the middle of this century.

I read them, and found them interesting - in other words, I took it calmly. After all, an American is an American and it makes little difference to me their race, color or creed.

However…..a sizable segment of the White population seems to have those same reports and gone absolutely, 100% certified batshit insane.

It’s fear. Their fear, their absolute pants-shitting fear, that they’ll be a demographic minority. And President Obama’s election in 2008 and re-election in 2012 likely only served to send their fear, paranoia and racial resentment into the stratosphere.

Absolutely. I don’t mind the change either. It’s no different than us having become more Catholic influenced by the 2nd half of last century than we were in the century prior. An American’s an American whether he can go back to Plymouth Rock or got their naturalization in the Trump years.
