33% of Americans in 2024 now believe that diversity, immigration and multiculturalism is a bad thing for America.

[Professor Emeritus]

This undercurrent has literally always existed in American politics.

You gotta have a goldfish memory if you think this shyt is "new".

What happened to Mexican immigrants ?
what happened to Asian immigants?
The Irish? Italians? Blacks during reconstruction?

Anyone who thinks this is "new" or a result of "Trump" is incredibly fukking naive.

Something doesn't have to be "new" to be increasing because of Trump. Why are you just ignoring that the number shifted from 12% to 33% in just six years?

Reagan was personally racist, and Bush had tons of racist fans, but the direct racism of their policies wasn't even close because no one was allowed to say those things out loud. They had to use dog whistles or indirect impacts if anything at all. And Republicans were voting for guys like Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney....mild moderates who didn't click off the White Nationalist check boxes at all. Meanwhile, Trump and his Administration are out there explicitly blocking Affirmative Action, DEI, payments for Black farmers, Black history in education, voting rights legislation, civil rights investigations, disparate impact policies, etc. while Trump and his supporters shout out racist shyt on a weekly basis with no repercussions. It is obvious that when the sort of language that someone like Trump uses goes unchecked, it increases the boldness and reach of racist behavior among the masses and in government alike.

After Trump, do you really imagine that a McCain or Romney-like figure is going to be nominated again anytime soon? Do you think that anyone could become the frontrunner without race-baiting like Desantis or JD Vance?

Once touted as a uniquely American achievement, "diversity" is now viewed negatively by a plurality of Americans

IT ISN'T INCREASING.
It has ALWAYS. EXISTED.







You live in a nation where "schools were integrated" but the segregation largely STILL EXISTS.

You are segregated across economic lines, racial lines, education lines etc.
There has been a consistent, long and drawn out war against the poor and racialized people.

If you think this shyt started with Trump then:

Again, y'all are fukking naive.

 

[Insensitive]

Imagine watching the material impacts of political decisions against various minority groups.

From using ICE agents like fukking goons to harass immigrants or flooding hoods with drugs and then
subsequently jailing the resident through over policing then saying "but trump!!".

White supremacy and systemic racism still whippin y'all asses on here because apparently that's too advanced of a topic.

This isnt a suprise, fox news is the most watched cable news show in the US they constantly propagate the anti immigrant agenda and narrative and try to scare up people, trump rhetoric and charlatans like tariq nasheed rhetoric have an effect

It's pure jealousy and entitlement. The average wyte American is being left behind in a America that they feel they're entitled to a slice of. Because that's what their daddy, granddaddy, and great granddaddy got. But it's not the same you gotta pull them bootstraps up and go get it. We've always been told that we've had to work 2x as hard and fruit are starting to bear. They hate to see us climbing up. If you haven't noticed they're some of the biggest pocket watchers out here. They hate seeing us have something that they don't have

That roughly makes up most of MAGA Republicans.

yup, the poorly educated that trump loves.

all this plus the fact that united states is turning more and more brown, and they are scared as hell of the inevitability of white population becoming the minority, which has been predicted for years.

Wait, you just posted a series of photos about Jim Crow-era institutional racism to prove that racism hasn't increased in the last 10 years?

OF COURSE racism was worse back then. Because of the Civil Rights Movement and increasing social awareness, the level of racism decreased for a period, though it was still existent and widespread. During the last 15 years the progress shifted and its gotten worse, especially during the last 9 years.

Segregation decreased substantially in the 1960s-1980s, but began increasing again in the 1990s (perhaps earlier). That was enabled in part by a drop in antiracist activism during the Reagan Administration and beyond, but also had been the latent desire of the racists who never wanted to desegregate in the first place. Additionally, the increase in segregation after the 1980s has likely fed into the recent increase in racism. It's not like you're going to come in here and educate me on a subject I literally wrote a term paper on.

If you think this shyt started with Trump then:


Again, y'all are fukking naive.

No one has argued that racism started with Trump.

EVERY bad thing can have ebbs and flows that are attributed to specific causes, regardless of how long they've been around. Slavery didn't start with White Southerners, but are you going to deny that they took it to another level?

 

[Starman]

Is the Coli consensus that diversity is good for America? I don't see anyone here arguing that.

It's more like America will get diversity for good or ill and they ain't gonna do shyt about it.
