yeah it's funny seeing Poland in that list since for a hot while we were not considered "real white" and were "slavic", same story as what the Irish went through. From what i'm reading at some point we were even considered terrorists in the US! (because one Polish dude killed some president), and the same scare tactics as what happens around Muslim people today were engaged

history is so fun /s

Yeah, whiteness is all about who isn't white so it doesn't make sense for it to exist without people who aren't. The Irish, Italians, and Jews are all just some demographic shifts away from being not-white.

Seriously; I've seen several such posts stating a belief that it's unsafe to visit the US, but that's wildly ignoring statistics. The violent crime rate is like half what it was in the 90s and continues its general downward trend, falling further to below the previous bottom in '19. And most of that still stems from gang violence and the like, so it's never near what tourists are doing.

I don't get it; I think people just like acting scared for some reason. Or maybe it's them grasping for a reason to feel superior? People love that kind of thing...

I would be interested in hearing of any country with the sheer volume of immigrants that the US has from every continent. We have migrants from every European nation, africa (including modern african culture, not just the results of the slave trade and imancipation), asian immigrants, including China, Japan, Veitnamese, Indian, even indigenous peoples as far as Oceania. And every culture is represented in our own, much to the dismay of those that believe our great works came solely from white hands. Our democracy is founded on a melting pot of ideas and inputs, not a euro-centric empire graciously allowing "lesser men" in it's borders.

Those are from 2003. Here's some more up to date data (with spreadsheets!): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries

USA is still placed at #90, but the top looks a bit different
