That is a massive leap from what I said. I really need you to point out where I “glorified” anything.
> There is nothing wrong about disliking foreigners on one's own land
When you put it that way…yeah something definitely sounds wrong.

The commenter you replied was questioning if a nation could maintain it's character after wholesale replacement of it's population by other people, and you said yes, and implied that thinking otherwise is dangerous. >yeah something definitely sounds wrong What is that something ? If I own a car or a house, I can control who gets inside that car or house, and I can exclude people on whatever basis I like, including race and culture. This is not ideal, but that's the reality. Changing it is likely to be extremly hard and violent. A country is "owned" by it's population, if a substantial majority of it's population don't want to let certain people into it, why is that such a problem ? Do you think those same people who want to immigrate would welcome a country's worth of people into their own land, if that were to happen ? Nearly every single culture in existence values itself more than others, and feels threatened when it's numbers decrease in relation to another.

- Forgeties79 5y agoYou can’t bully/guilt people into conversations they don’t want to have with people they don’t want to talk to. This is obviously an axe-grinding session for you and frankly I don’t want to be a part of it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
