Bruce Tuncks Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 In thinking about the voice vote, I tried ( and failed) to find a good country that was non-white and wanted non-white immigrants. Chile just maybe? Anyway, I sure would like some help here. What I reckon is that such countries are thin on the ground and hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Bruce, I suspect that the reason might be because humans are intrinsically discriminatory. We can fight against it but no matter how egalitarian we try to be, it is still just an idealist goal to aim for. 'Whites' Is a generic term itself, just as 'non-white'. Whites discriminate against subsets of whatever 'Whites' means, as well as other skin pigment folk. Non Whites do exactly the same. No group really wants competition from outsiders. Evolution only favours the best breeders of any species. Unfortunately it does not favor intellect, or behaviour. So, here we are. That's my theory. If you don't like that one, I can find another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Unfortunately the smartest people reduce the number of children they Have. They know what causes it. Nev 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Nomad, there were periods in our evolutionary history when moving was the best option. This surely favoured brains and it helps explain why we carry such a big thing around as our brain. And, nev, it would take a great many generations for your thing ( about smarter people having fewer kids) to manifest itself. I agree about this by the way. We sure should limit child support to just 3 kids at the most. Unfortunately, this would give the woke lot yet another weapon to hit the govt with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Unfortunately, spenaroo, South Africa was possibly on a list somewhere about wanting non-white immigrants. I agree its not a "nice" country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenaroo Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 yeah, it is understandable. but there is lots of places that idolize western (especially American) culture and influence. Liberia is a prime example. they have a history tied to the USA Sierra Leone was similar. independent from Britain, But I had no issues with the color of my skin when I lived there. if anything it was the opposite with people welcoming me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenaroo Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) Lets not lie to ourselves. most immigration is welcomed because of the $$$ Philippine's are welcome in the Arab states as its a cheap work-force to exploit. pacific Islanders are welcome for the construction industry and manual labor Asians and Indians are welcome here because of the wealth they bring with them. (yeah there are poor ones that get in, but the target is the wealthy) Edited September 19 by spenaroo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Humans have always been a migratory species. Waves of people reached almost every habitable bit of land long ago. I fear the greatest migration of all has just begun, as poor people are squeezed out of home by natural disasters, wars and rising seas. Our rich, safe, empty continent will be a favoured destination. How do we respond? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Only the ' one ' !. British Bahamas. There was a campaign to get English people to emigrate there to balance the " white non-white " voting after their independence. It Failed . spacesailor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I think you will find most middle eastern countries welcome immigrants.. - of colour - virtual slaves - of whiteys - engineers, bankers, accountants, lawyers, and arms dealers. Until both have served their purpose. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Humans have not been as migratory as it seems... the longest migration, to the southern tip of South america, can be explained as a few meters a year. There was lots of geological time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 What I am learning is that there is nowhere to go unless you are rich or have a desired profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Migratory? Certainly! As bruce pointed out, most migrations are slow, geologically speaking. But not all. I think there are two distinct psychologies at play. Some stubbornly refuse to move even though they are struggling in unlivable circumstances. But others seem keen to quickly pull up stakes and clear off in search of greener pastures. I am descended from two rather different families who migrated a century ago to what is now known as Australia. None of my forebears used force or cruelty against others in this land. This contrasts with the invasions which have occured elsewhere in tis world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more importantly America to spruke how great they are. in my experience most people wanting to move - had their eyes set on the USA because that's what they saw on all the media. the more learned of us know Canada is the better option 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
