    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    I totally agree that there are lots of non-dutch westerners in the Netherlands. In fact the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek classifies about 9% of the population as non-dutch western; However, I really don't know what this has to do with the fact that 12% of the Netherlands is categorized by...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Wow for someone who found this OP "irrelevant" I am very happy to see the amount of energy you are putting into it. Glad to see that I got you so interested. Unfortunately your analysis of the numbers is patently wrong. Citing "Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek" - in 2013 - 22% of the Dutch...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Your right I may have been conflating a couple of countries. The Netherlands seems to be a decent amount behind countries like the USA, Sweden, Britain, and France. It looks like the Netherlands are only about 12% non-europeon. That population being made up of mostly Turks and Morroccans. I...

    Would you consider Turks "native" to Istanbul. They took (what was then Constantinople) over in 1452 only 40 years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. At what point does a population become Native? Native Americans are thought to have crossed into alaska from Siberia roughly 10,000...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    You were not "reading me correctly" with regard to "white" but rather the United States census. Ya know, as stated in the article you provided. Personally I think "being white" in America has little to do with notions of genetic "purity" but rather how you percieve yourself which mostly comes...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Wow really? This is your big bombshell that makes this OP irrelevant? Lets highlight a couple of things from the article shall we: The author states "60 percent [of newborns] had at least one non-Hispanic white parent" and compares that to the (50 percent who have two non-Hispanic white parents...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Take a quick glance at demographic projections over the next few decades for USA, Sweden, Britain, Italy, or France. What is the conspiracy? Why is it not worth a discussion?

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Yet again. Another post with nothing stated. You claim it is not worth discussing yet it is worth multitudes of posts saying that it is not worth discussing? If your point is to discredit me you should do so with substance rather than multlitudes of meaningless posts.

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    First of all, in our discussion of Islam in Europe, all you did was offer similarly conclusory and dismissive statements and generally refused to engage in any kind of discussion. Second of all, I hardly think that discussing the negative impact of Islam on Europe is so equivalent with a wider...

    Please issue substantive arguments rather than conclusory statements. If you think my arguments are asinine, you should articulate why.

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    I agree integration is important; however, we can't pretend that where immigrants come from and how many come doesn't matter. Creating a Europeon "New World" which received almost exclusively Europeons from about 1790 to 1965 provided the right atmosphere for a digestable "mixing bowl" of...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    First: I would agree, all things considered, the west has achieved the most agreeable societies in the history of the world which naturally attracts people from far less "agreeable" societies; however, my point in brining up certain other countries is that, whatever problems they may have, they...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Any minority in just about any country around the world faces discrimination. Minorities in many other countries to a greater extent than here at home. Would you really want to be a Persian Shia living in an Arab Sunni country? This is one of the biggest catalysts for my question. Why should...

    Is there an advantage to becoming a minority?

    Per capita economic oppurtunity is certainly an important factor, however countries like Japan and South Korea are highly advanced and have very strong median incomes etc. The same could be said about certain Arab states or relatively wealthy South American countries like Argentina; However...
