Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* As the New York Times explained this week, mass migration across the Danube offers the receiving country \u201can opportunity to rejuvenate its aging demographics and ensure its economic prosperity \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

This is one of my pet peeves about demographic commentary.<\/p>\n

If you are bringing in lots of foreigners, and\/or if those foreigners are having lots of children, it\u2019s not your demographics that are being rejuvenated. It\u2019s theirs. It\u2019s like how some American commentators brag about how, unlike Europe, \u201cwe\u201d in America have replacement-level fertility.<\/p>\n

No, \u201cwe\u201d don\u2019t, unless you think that a nation has no a priori relationship with the people who created and settled it.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine elites in Israel saying, \u201cThe Arabs are rejuvenating our demographics, hooray!\u201d But that\u2019s par for the course in every other Western country. If terms like \u201ccuckservative\u201d and \u201cCultural Marxist\u201d didn\u2019t exist, we would have to invent them.<\/p>\n

Is it too much to ask for an elite media establishment that doesn\u2019t regard the European peoples as demographically expendable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
