    Just avoid the no-go zones and you should be ok.

    Except for Trump supporters, where apparently it's going backwards.

    Do you think the United States is a "white country"?

    When I mean "white country", do you think a white US citizen is more "American" than a non-white US citizen?

    Another reason why rational Americans are open to immigration is that immigrants on average are more educated than the average native born American citizen and contribute more on average to our gdp and commit less crime on average.

    Is that why the average immigrant from South Asia and Africa have higher percentages of professional degrees, earn more money and have lower crime rates than the average native born American citizen?

    The internet is changing culture faster than anything. Just wait until it’s common that people are virtually in the same space although separated by thousands of miles. Shut it down before it destroy all of the cultures.

    You should be upset that someone is giving you false facts. London isn't even close to a Majority Muslim city.

    Christians in London outnumber Muslims about 4 to 1.

    I don't know why you are so scared of minorities but I hope you learn to get over your fear.

    Good post, and I can add to this part later but am not in the mood currently.

    That's good advice for every region/country on earth...the universe, actually.

    Looks like he's getting his information from White Nationalists, these are the EXACT same narratives they use. They tend to outright lie about things like that so...

    Too late. The genie is out of the bottle. Some of us remember (and as adults at the time) when the internet didn't exist, except in a few university and Defense Department labs. It brings enormous benefits and enormous problems, the 2016 elections in the States and the Brexit vote being two obvious examples of the latter. Both were targeted by the Russian intelligence apparatus, the GRU (formally the KGB), and those attacks were spectacularly successful, despite the non-stop denials by the main benefactors - trump and Russia. They led to trump being "elected," and Brexit narrowly passing, which has weakened NATO, the EU, and Great Britain.

    Actually, a lot of wealthy Arab countries are full of foreign nationals. In Qatar, Qatari citizens are a minority-- most residents are expats from places ranging from India and Pakistan to the U.S. and Denmark. Many of the foreigners who live in Qatar, especially those from the poorer countries, have been there for decades and some even generations. There are places in Asia that are attracting immigrants also-- Singapore, for example.

    Trump is right, McDonalds needs to stop immigrating to other countries and ruining their culture.

    Didn't every culture in Europe immigrate there at some point?

    The violence is undeniable. There are major, major problems resulting from the immigrants who have come to Europe. That's not up for debate. These immigrants have not assimilated well. These are facts. The culture is undeniably changing, simply given the new mix. What you can debate is whether that is a good thing, long term, or not.

    When you're right, you're right. Something about blind squirrels finding nuts is appropriate here.
