This is occuring outside of the United States.  It is occuring throughout much
of Western Europe, the UK, in parts of the Anglosphere.  Not everything that
happens in the world centres around what Americans think.

You also seem to be missing the point.  Making certain countries "melting pots"
melts the demographics of those countries.  Do you see China, Kenya, Nigeria,
Korea, Vietnam becoming "melting pots"?

Have you BEEN to London, Paris, Rotterdam, Marseilles, Birmingham, Amsterdam,
Sydney or Melbourne?

You are just bringing up trite talking points that make no sense.  So become
some Irish came a century ago, that justifies wholesale replacement of peoples?

The fact is, your "ideas" are in conflict with the continued existence of an
identifiable group.  Perhaps YOU are comfortable with expressing political and
social ideas which diminish and undermine identifiable groups, but such ideas
have in the past been rightfully held as highly immoral crimes.

And don't use square quotes around legitmate terms.  There is clear documented
and observable evidence of replacement, and putting square quotes around
"Threatened", as if people had no right to feel threatened by being melting
potted out, is incredibly arrogant and patronising.
