Nope.

Just as most non-whites have NOT acted in the manner you speak of, in my area, I expect joey-ray to follow suit.

He hasn't.

The point of this thread is that whites are being driven away and out of their land - by hordes of brown people - because diversity is being forced on them.

Well, no. It isn't.

The 'hordes' are there for a reason - and, that reason does not involve forcing anything on you, taking anything from you or robbing you. In fact, they work rather hard, follow laws and live peacefully amongst most people,... where as when the whites 1st came over on this land,.. they butchered, raped and stole the land from the natives. Yet, alarms ring, when a non-white moves into a white neighborhood,.. why is that??

And, in my part of the country, things are just fine, since they want to work. Everything was just peachy, until the demented rubes started showing up and pretended they were metropolitan.

Trash is trash - not diversity. Some of your ilk could learn a thing or two about the hard working immigrants that came over here and have lived perfectly fine, in the last nearly 4 decades of Queens.

Stop by NYC. Meet the people who came from the "Heart Land Of America".

Not sure what the ultimate point of this thread is, unless we want to enact laws telling people where they can and can't live. Given the new authoritarian strain that seems to be emerging, an idea like that no longer seems farfetched.

Again, shooting heroin and leaving the empty rigs on your stoop is their culture. Privilege; checked.

You have yet to show what other culture, like the one you described, is demanded to be respected and accepted.

I consider this your second chance to do so,.. but won't.

Prove my suspicions wrong and give me an example, please.
 
We live in the zip code of 73170, one of the more affluent suburbs of OKC. Our subdivision of about 200 houses is about half white and half asian (mostly Vietnamese). Everyone gets along fine. We have quite a few retired white people in the subdivision who will call cops/sue the heck out of occasional yahoos who step out of line with illegal parking, not mowing their lawn, loud music, etc..

I don't think they're demanding anything, other than your wallet, sucka. You can always move, I guess.

Hm.

When called out to prove what other example there is of being forced to accept a 'culture',.. you have nothing and then dismissively state; just move. That isn't the point/direction of this topic, BTW.

But, you are in charge of your own hur dur dur,.. so, keep at it. You do America proud kid.

I have yet to discern a meaningful point to this topic, other than someone is keeping track of what color of people move where.

Your call out probably didn't work because you're white noise. The point of the thread seemed to be about calling out white people for wanting to live in white communities (people of all cultures/races tend to self segregate if they have the numbers and the financial ability to do so, the horror), it didn't seem to gel because liberals talk a big game about diversity but always move into a white burb when they have a kid (unless they're rich and can afford private school). I came in and enjoyed some schadenfreude about your hood going to shit, and here we are.
 
Is self-segregation itself a racist act? I've read many, many definitions of racism and am actually not sure, because the boundaries are not at all objective. I gather that the answer would differ depending not only on who you ask, but also the specifics of the group, like their ethnicity and where they live.

Their "entitled ego and superiority" might have something to do with them actually demonstrating superiority in quantifiable terms: less crime, better engagement in their kid's education, and lower pathology of many types. When the new residents start behaving like white suburbanites instead of relocated slum residents the "white flight" will stop. If this was black and minority professionals moving into the suburbs the white flight would not be an issue.

The counter white flight being a crime or drug issue is the example of Monterey Bay, California when Asian professionals started moving in the late 70s and 80s. This was a case of a small minority group with lower incidence of crime, drug use, better education, higher income, yet it started a mass exodus of whites from the city, something like a third of the white population left within 10 years.

Jimmy Carter got it right: "people just want to live in ethnically homogenous neighborhoods".

Perhaps communications could be improved if you used real words. I don't know what a "hur dur dur" is, and I'm not getting much from the context.

To answer the question you asked about being forced to accept a culture, the answer is obviously that no one is forced into acceptance, what's forced is tolerance. We all have to tolerate other cultures, if you're white, that tolerance isn't extended to you because of the assumed "white privilege". Whites are also expected to feel remorse or guilt over things that other whites have done in the past, even though we might have had no connection to the perpetrators. This is called "guilt by association" and it's bemoaned as racism when used against anyone but whites.

You're welcome to feel as guilty as you want about being white, you're also welcome to accept responsibility for people of the same color that did bad things in the past (a position that I'm simply not capable of understanding), but you're out of line when you require that others think the same way. I am 100% blameless for the past transgressions of whites, as I am for every other color as well. My only responsibility is for my own actions, and I accept that responsibility as readily as I reject taking it on behalf of others.
 
I chose where to live based off the school district; i don't know why the better school districts with higher taxes tend to be majority white.
 
I was gonna mention that two world wars might indicate the presence of some nut jobs. Funny to see that Godwin's law still applies, though.
 
It's borderline nut job territory to even bother arguing with Moonbeam's sock puppet as if he's capable of understanding a logical discussion. Just sayin'. 😉

Stop making sense on a liberal forum. What the hell are you thinking?
