There is an argument that there is enough of a cultural difference for it to affect the country one way or another.
- and0 9y agoYou know, HN usually slaps me on the wrist for insinuating that someone is a white nationalist, which is why I was pretty low key about it, so.. thanks for just coming out and admitting it, I guess?
- cat199 9y agostating that regional cultures have more or less similarities and would entail more or less cultural shift doesn't make one a 'white nationalist'.. which itself is a conveniently ambiguous phrase. FDR was white. FDR was nationalist. Was he a 'White Nationalist'? certainly not, but if he publicly held the same political positions he held less than a century before the label would more than likely be applied.

- sctb 9y agoCould you please stop the information-free provocation and just comment civilly and substantively, like we've asked many times before? We'd like not to ban the account, but that's what happens when this doesn't change. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- jquery 9y ago> natives of US were pillaged by the European immigrants Is that an argument for or against immigration by people with different cultural values?
