One thing that never makes sense to me is, where is the ‘replacement’ part? If I have 5 white people in a room, then bring in 5 black people, sure the white people make up a smaller percentage of the room, but all 5 of those people are still there. None have been ‘replaced’ in any way. Should it be called the Great White People Who Can’t Share Theory? Great Petulant People Who Need To Be The Center Of Attention Theory?
also all those people who love their European heritage, complaining about Latinos moving in and speaking Spanish…. Are they unaware that Spain is part of Europe?
FifyThere is antipathy and certainly hatred against racist assholes from minorities.
Remember the Charlotte white supremacist rally, where they chanted "Jews will not replace us!" That didn't mean that Jews would become more numerous, just that they would somehow gain socially advantageous position and status formerly enjoyed by non-jews. You hear similar types of arguments when whites express resentment about blacks taking the place of qualified whites for jobs or college admission. Another example would be women taking jobs and getting promoted in businesses where males traditionally dominate. It isn't just physical replacement. It is replacement on the perception of social status, access to services, etc. Another example would be Spanish speakers or Chinese speakers replacing English speakers for goods, services, jobs, etc.
