...Yeah? My entire point was that it's not just about race. Things change, culture changes, and there's rarely any point in fighting it. That's all I've been trying to say. Everything I've said about race has been addressed to racists. If you're not racist, don't worry about it.
EDIT: To clarify, when I say that things change and there's rarely any point in fighting it, I mean things like culture, which is constantly changing and there's nothing you can do about it. Culture changed between 1980 and 1990, as it did between 1990 and 2000, and between 2000 and 2010, and it will keep changing. It's not something new and there's no point in fighting it because it's impossible.

The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh. It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall." - Lilian Voss

Europe is setting itself on fire in the name of feelz. But not all Europeans will accept it. Eventually, the whole mess will start to boil over.
And then guess who will be begged for help to save them from their own mistakes for the 4th time ( 1-3 being ww1,ww2, cold war)?
You know who. I hope for Europe's sake we're in the mood.

Rarely any point in fighting it? If people hadn't fought against change we would be living in a society where everything you do is monitored to detail. There's still a lot of surveilance but if people hadn't resisted change then we would be living in a society where everything is under surveilance.
Fighting against bad changes is what keeps people in society free.
I always find these sorts of statements odd. They never seem to say exactly what the thing in question will no longer be. It's always left up to the reader to assume that "what it isn't anymore" must be all the things you liked and what it "is now" or "will be" is all the things you don't like.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Western capitalism, you know the thing that is creating the cushion that allows people to be indifferent to the long term effects of having an antithetical population amidst your own among other things it lets them be indifferent to. It's not as drastic as in the US, but Europe certainly has a case of the haves and the have nots and is just as dependent on kicking the can down the road as the US is.

Harping on about how "oh it used to be so great and now it's all going to hell because change is bad" is silly, because it has always been changing.
Culture changing is not inherently a bad thing, it's just what happens.

Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, British, American and Taiwanese immigrants are around the same rate as the Swedes. It's not that Sweden is poor at integrating immigrants, a lot of groups are successful but then you get some groups that are extremes, like the north africans as mentioned in the article.
It's the groups that are standing out that much that are the problem, not that Sweden are bad at integration.
