Gradual culture mutation is different from sudden culture importation. There is a narrow neighbourhood in the space of possible cultures that is reachable from any given culture in it, this is the space explored by ordinary mechanims of culture change like cultural exchange and new generations. Mass immigration explores the space very differently, in a way that is sudden and discontinues.I think it's reasonable for people to worry that they're being replaced, because that's actually what's (more or less) happening.

> I think it's reasonable for people to worry that they're being replaced My issue is the entitlement that goes hand in hand with this mentality. Everyone replaces someone. What makes me so special that I get to go, “oh no you don’t, all cultural change ends with me and my friends unless I specifically sanction the change”? People made room for me, after all.
