Putting it in my own words, isn't this topic about concern that the USA is headed in a demographic direction that will cause supposedly undesirable changes like this:
- The dominate skin color will be darker, with the only question how dark
- The most common names will be names like Jorge or Tusajigwe or Ahmed
- English will become the small-print second language appearing on all our products
- The heros of our history books will become Spanish or African or Arab
The USA has a clear identity in most people's minds, and so the concern is that the identity that we so love is changing in ways that will eventually turn it into a foreign and unfamiliar place. But those of us of a certain age know the country has already indelibly changed from the way it was and is never going back. This has ever been the case. The 50's or 60's or 70's or 80's or 90's or whatever decades shaped your impression of what the country is supposed to be are gone, and they aren't coming back. Whatever direction the change takes, change is going to happen. It's inevitable.
