Selwyn Duke writes<\/a>: Have you heard about the millions of Chinese flooding into the Tibet? With their displacement of the native peoples and the supplanting of Tibetan with Chinese culture, anthropologists and human rights activists have labeled the colonization \u201ccultural genocide.\u201d (See here, here, here, here, and here, for example.) It is a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre with its own popular bumper sticker:<\/p>\n

The situation corresponds precisely to what\u2019s happening in most Western countries \u2014 most notably the United States \u2014 except for one minor detail:<\/p>\n

No compassionate liberal activists call it cultural and demographic genocide.<\/p>\n

They call it \u201cdiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything else reflects the West\u2019s immigrationist malaise. This cultural sickness is not limited to America. The Swedish multiculturalist and anti-Western social engineer Mona Sahlin, commenting on the planned Islamization of her land, said in 2001, “[T]he Swedes must be integrated into the new Sweden; the old Sweden is never coming back.” <\/p>\n

The old Hazleton is likely never coming back, either. There recently was a news story about how the Pennsylvania town has gone from 5 percent to 37 percent Hispanic in just a decade, between 2000 and 2010. Another news piece, one at PennLive.com titled \u201cNot all in Hazleton convinced old town, new immigrants can co-exist happily\u201d (they must be \u201cracists\u201d), points out that \u201c[f]or years, the hospital ran deficits because of the number of people visiting the emergency room who could not pay\u201d and that \u201c[w]hen the Hispanic population started to boom in the early 2000s, Hazleton\u2019s crime rate rose\u2026.\u201d Of course, I\u2019m sure this is mere correlation. Because we all know that our strength lies in our displac\u2026er, I mean, diversity.<\/p>\n

One thing we can say about Hazelton\u2019s transformation, at least, is that it was driven by economic and lifestyle factors such as jobs and better neighborhoods. Not so with Obama\u2019s amnesty plan to use illegal aliens \u2014 or, if that term is offensive, let\u2019s say, undocumented Democrats \u2014 as \u201cseedlings\u201d to further effect the \u201cfundamental transformation\u201d of America. Oh, you haven\u2019t heard about this? Well, it\u2019s not the kind of scheme laid out in official policy papers or analyzed in The New York Times. But the gist of it, talk-show host Sue Payne told us while reporting on a conversation she became privy to involving federal officials, is that \u201cnew Americans\u201d (read: \u201cforeigners\u201d) would \u201cnavigate, not assimilate\u201d as they \u201ctake over the host,\u201d create a \u201ccountry within a country\u201d and start \u201cpushing the citizens into the shadows\u201d (click here for more). The moral of this story? No one is talking about \u201cassimilation\u201d except suckers, who, it seems, are natural-born every minute.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, it\u2019s certainly tempting to blame all this on Barack Obama. But note that the majority of Hazleton\u2019s transformation occurred under George W. Bush\u2019s watch \u2014 not that Mr. Mush deserves all the blame, either. Understand that the die for our fundamental transformation was cast long ago, in 1965, with the Immigration Reform and Nationality Act (gracias, Ted Kennedy). It radically changed our immigration model, creating a situation wherein for 50 years 85 percent of our immigrants have hailed from the Third World and Asia. And if demographics are destiny, we should ponder the almost unprecedented demographic shift the act has wrought. In 1965, whites were almost 90 percent of the population.<\/p>\n

Now non-Hispanic whites are down to 63 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
