Be honest -- How do you feel about the upcoming minority-majority?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm genuinely enthusiastic.

Even in its darkest hours, America has always been a shining beacon of cultural pluralism throughout the world, and today it has the opportunity to show for the first time in human history that a multitude of communities can not only live together, but work together for a common purpose. Of course, I don't expect hatred to go away any time soon, but I am confident it won't prevail. And that should be an example for all of us, especially in Europe.

In person, you might be more reluctant to speak about this topic, but online, you are relatively anonymous. Hence, you can be candid on this question:

How do you feel about the upcoming minority-majority, which will make non-Hispanic whites a minority in their own country?

It was never "theirs" to begin with.

Ugh, I missed that. Here goes another racist.

Poor people becoming a majority is a bad thing. If non-Whites were becoming a majority in a vacuum, that in itself wouldn't be a problem. The reason they are taking over though is because they are caught in a cycle of being poor and having lots of children. The end result is the United States becoming a third world nation. It's funny to see someone from NYC say that a minority majority hasn't led to economic disaster, I guess just because he lives in a Manhattan bubble. Half the jobs can't afford to pay minimum wage here. Milk is $5 a gallon. Housing is affordable only if you are a millionaire, on government assistance, or have made a conscious decision never to have children and always have roommates. NYC seriously looks like Dubai with a slightly better human rights record.

I guess poor people are responsible for poverty now.

I just wish that I heard a little more English on the bus.  It's really annoying because I don't know what they're saying, and for some reason, hearing a person yell and scream in a foreign language for ten whole minutes really gets on my nerves.

If it bothers you so much, you can always learn Spanish.

People like you are why I do not speak English on the bus.

This is why you deserve the additional TSA screening while literally every single other Muslim American in the country does not.

Please tell me this is just a very bad attempt at humor.

This is a strange sentiment imo. Surely history (and even the contemporary world) has seen its fair share of multiethnic societies, empires and nation-states, stretching back to antiquity?

I'd say the multiethnic empires of the Antiquity and stretching all the way to the 18th and 19th centuries were a very different thing from modern nation-States. As for more recent multiethnic States (I meant those where no ethnicity has a majority on its own), sadly I got the impression that each of them had a serious issue or another, and I think the US has the potential to avoid these issues.
