How long did it take America to go from 0% white to almost complete native erasure?

If we’re gonna apply your definitionally racist argument then whites (ie Europeans) (or Asians or Africans) shouldn’t be in the country.

Also, apparently you’re ok with America’s population doubling with immigration as long as those immigrants are white Europeans?

The share of immigrants as a percentage of population is about where it was between the mid 1800s and early 1900s, but you’re fine with that because it was primarily Europeans? (Although, ironically, a lot of those Europeans were also not considered white contemporaneously and it’s only now that their descendants consider themselves white and rail about all the non white immigeants).

This is outright false: https://www.academia.edu/69843076/The_Becoming_White_Thesis_...

In fact it is so false, that 8 Irishmen signed the US Declaration of Independence: https://www.irishpost.com/life-style/meet-8-irishmen-signed-...

The myth was likely started by Noel Ignatiev's "How the Irish Became White" book [1]. The same Noel Ignatiev that co-founded the "Race Traitor" journal, "which promoted the idea that "treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity"". Who would have thought such an unbiased and objective academic would be falsifying history. It's an exercise for the reader how something both so unbelievable, and so easily falsified, could persist for so long in academia.

So the Americans deserve it? Well, thank you for your honesty.


I would not be using the "natives were wiped out by foreign conquerors" argument in support of uncontrolled (or any other kind) immigration, if I were you.
