Mercer: Is Diversity Driving Decline in the White Population?
[American Renaissance] "America doesn’t need more people; it needs to allow its own people to recover."An "aging white population [is] speeding [up] diversity," blared a headline in The Hill. Could this be a case of confusing cause-and-effect? Are the two trends‐whites dying-out and minorities thriving‐really spontaneous and strictly parallel? The reverse is likely true. Corrected, The Hill headline should have read: Could speeding up diversity contribute to a decline in the white population? We learn that "there are growing signs that the rate of change is increasing." Well of course. America welcomes well over 1 million, mostly non-white, immigrants a year. If white lives mattered at all to the liberal establishment, an inquiry would ensue: Is it possibility that an enormous influx of legal and illegal migrants over decades is playing a role in the decline of America’s founding population? (A similar, sad fate was visited on their predecessors, the Amerindians.) On the one hand, we have the drastic, ongoing decline of America’s white population; on the other, a massive, incessant inpouring of minority immigrants, since 1965. A correlation between the two is not impossible. A large, well-controlled national survey conducted by Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, in 2006, found that diversity immiserates and that the historic population is most affected. Perhaps protracted misery associated with loss of community hastens death? The logic posits a zero-sum game. The native population has been swamped over time. Resources are scarce‐especially when allocated by a wastrel, white-hating Administrative State. In hating on whites, civil society’s institutions are as culpable. "Admin State" along with Civil society institutions making up what we now refer to as the "Deep State." Is it not highly plausible, then, that immigration social engineering, compounded by state policies that privilege non-white newcomers, could contribute to a population decline in white America? Picture the following scene, set somewhere in what was Trump country, say West Virginia: A pale patriarch must help his bright son choose a career. What about pursuing the law? Article continues followed by a mile of pithy reader comments. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-04-20 |
