How many people feel that the white race is on decline?

You have every right to feel the way you do. Not that I am advocating "White Power" -- but instead the decline of what is after all the race which has contributed most to civilization as we know it. Once again, don't get me wrong. I am not a "racist", if what that means is instinctive and prejudicial hatred of other races. Nor do I advocate separation of the races as a preference. I applaud diversity. Each culture European/Caucasian, Native American, Japanese, Chinese, Black African (in all ITS tribal diversity), Arab, Jew -- the list is, or rather has been endless.

What we are seeing now, at least in industrial Western countries like the United States, is an enormous and disproportionate influx of people seeking primarily economic advantage and the resultant DISAPPEARANCE of diversity as the enormous numbers of immigrants is absorbed. It is true that the economic imbalance these people are fleeing is much our own creation. But it is also the result of the rise of living standard among people worldwide from that of plain survival, to one where the IDEA of an escape from their own situation to another far away at least seems plausible. What ever the motivation, we see so many of those who come here unwilling to culturally integrate -- who see themselves as on the one hand entitled to all the benefits that our country offers, yet resistant and even hostile toward its people and traditions.

I doubt that the teaching in public schools of "Alternative" cultural histories would get very far in, say, Japan. America is often pointed at, but is far from the most racist of cultures, either in thought or practice. If the idea of "Pride" is a valid one for any race, it is valid for all of them -- and your craving for a better link to your own heritage as well as that of some common bond as "Humans" is as natural as loving your own parents in a different way than the next-door neighbors.

I am sorry to hear about your husband, hope things get better soon. Well it seems to me that you stated you wanted to feel a cultural awareness of some sort as a white person. You are entitled to want that as anyone else does whether they are minority or what have you. Personally, I do not think you are looking at it in the best light. What is specific ethnicity? Instead of focusing on racial pride focus on your actual heritage. What is your specific ethnicity?? If you know this, very easily you can start implementing certain customs of your culture. At first when I saw the question, I was like oh brother another white power movement lol. Well actually I kind of understand what you mean though. There is going to be more mixing of cultures going on and it would be great if there were no more separate groups by race this way certain issues would not exist in our society today. Unfortunately, it was White people who historically opressed other groups like Native Americans and African (slaves) so yeah that is why there is some blame there. Obviously you dont have to be blamed directly but it effects us all. Had it not been for the history of White supremacy perhaps people of color would not have the views they have. Try to understand where I am coming from, this is not to judge you personally.

Also, I would say its a good thing there is more cultural diversity and acceptance. When you say white race is on the decline did you mean by population or by socioeconomic status. Whites still make up the majority of the nation's wealth, top jobs, major companies and corporations, etc, by a LANDSLIDE. Whites still dominate the media, are focused on more than all other groups although the other groups combined might outnumber whites (not sure). White man has always been president, received best education, is most likely to vote, receive employment, get promoted and be CEO or have a white collar job. White woman is next in line, etc. Anyway, the white population is still the majority and even if its lessening the control of whites is something that may not go away for quite some time because this is how its been. I would like to see some change you know.

Yes,its because we are too fair nowadays,too liberal and as you say bear the weight of guilt from previous generations.

Its the way it is,and no amount of wishing will alter it.

Fertility issues are another straw on the camels back.

Our cultural society (whites) has been eroded by ourselves.

So we have no-one to pass the blame or shove the guilt onto.

We can not claim to have been oppressed or enslaved,unless you go back to Roman times and wish to try and litigate against Italy today !

Sorry but its gloomily true.

Also true is your last statement about Europe,most are ending up in the UK,with its free health care and social security system under emense pressure,they can even claim for their kids back in their homelands.How does that work !.Its no wonder we can't afford to have kids,we are being taxed to poverty to subsidise foriegn nationals and their offspring in their homelands.We already subsidise through taxes and vat to the european union that hands it out to less well off countries,so in effect some are getting it twice and we are losing it twice.

(this is not necessarily a white issue.Many of the incomers are white "europeans" and our indigenous populace is made up of many generations of other ethnic groups with other colour skins)

It seems that today, it is not politically correct to have pride in your race if you are white. However, it is okay to have pride in your ethnicity. In my case, Irish and German and English. Someone in my family, an aunt somewhere did a geneology search and found wonderful family history that we can definitely be proud of. So far, no one in my ancestory is guilty of being a slave owner. In fact, we actually fought to free the slaves. And, that was right after they came over from Ireland. My sons' father did his own research and found out that his side is Irish (which we already suspected) and Native American. More searching and a DNA test and now he and my boys and their little sister are all registered with their tribe.

So, when the race issue comes up, I have no reason to carry some unknown ancestor's guilt. I do have reason to be proud of my ancestor and the accomplishments they did.

Mam I don't know if you know this but, I found out when I was getting out of the service from a population prospective the white race is in decline the government has known that for years. Also the white race to many cultures although respected has really pissed off alot of folks not really going to go into that just really look into history you would be surprised at what you find from India, Africa to Asia.

So it makes you uncomfortable that there may be a 'power shift' in America?

I assume that it is ok for you that Whites are on the 'incline' and minorities remain on the 'decline'.

I notice that people posing this question have a problem with any race having even a small chance of becoming a majority at some point.

What are you afraid of?

Not only do we feel this way, but it is a FACT! If you go looking up info on it, Hispanics will be the Majority of the population by 2012! and we will be minority.

It's a worldwide fact actually. White people have generally decided that their priorities and personal happiness does not lie with having children. Higher education has shown them to appreciate other things in this world. For better or worse.

Is there a problem with that?

You claim you aren't racist and yet you say that Europe is being "invaded" by people who "have no claim to it." I'm Asian, and I'm European. I can sympathise with your 'lack of identification,' but really, life is too short for one to worry so much about pride in one's own race.

First I would like to say there is no difference among human beings as they are all created by one creator from one father. The differences are inside. I lived among USA people, and like to state their culture is not as good as should be. Family values, moral values, many other values are way down. In other words, they are destroying there selves form inside. That's why many Americans convert to Islam.
