I'm sure Hitler would love a man with an Orthodox Jew for a son-in-law, a converted Jew for a daughter and Jewish grandkids, not to mention a Slavic wife. You are absolutely insane.

Sorry. I forgot the US's history doesn't overlap with the history of world diplomac

So I’m all of world history you think no head of state has ever called another country a shite hole? You think no other head of state has ever put their own country first?

You are either trolling or a retard.

Norway has around 13 percent of its population made up of immigrants, of which half of that is non-European.


So let's do some math!

13% of Norway is immigrants. So 87% of Norway is Norwegian, and therefore white.

Half is non-European. So tack on another 6.5% on the white column.

That means Norway is 93.5% white. What percent of the US is white?

Now, who is more diverse? Because as we know, diversity = how great a country is.

He shouldn't have said that.

I have to think, however, that if Obama or Hillary had said that in a similar meeting the media would not have reported it. The MSM's mission is to hurt Trump.

If Obama had made a derogatory comment about, IDK, Israel and unyielding Evangelical support for their conservative government's policies, in a closed door meeting that involved Republicans and Republican staffers, you don't think that story ends up on Fox News within the day?

The station that made a thing out of Grey Poupon?

Half of which identify as European then?

Ethnic groups: Norwegian 94.4% (includes Sami, about 60,000), other European 3.6%, other 2% (2007 est.)


^ decade ago so my fault, likely changed somewhat. Though page says it was updated in 2017

As of 2012, an official study shows that the quotient of the total population that is either born outside Norway, or has one or two parents born abroad, or has one or more grandparents born abroad is 1,100,000 to 5,017,500 (which equals 21.9%).[14]

About a half million of these, however, identify as ethnic Norwegians who may have, for example, one Swedish grandparent. As of 2012, an official study shows that 86.2%[8] of the total population are Ethnic Norwegians and more than 660,000 individuals (.%)[8] are migrants and their descendants (110,000[8] second generation migrants born in Norway).

Of these 660,000 immigrants and their descendants:

335,000 (51%)[8] have a Western background (Commonwealth, North America, Europe)
325,000 (49%)[8] have a non-Western background (Turkey, Morocco, Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran).



Still appear to be around 86% “Norwegian” and +90% European




I stand by my statement that once that number is down in the 60s it will complicate things for them. Just like it would in Japan, China, or African nations.

Yeah read the post I was responding to. He said Norweigian, not white, which is clearly untrue. Which is my point.

If any American president criticized Israel in such a manner, Fox News would have John Bolton and Bill Bennett on multiple times to drum up hysteria.

Like when The Atlantic and The Washington Post ran some scathing stories because the Obama Administration's appointee to Ambassador to Norway was a fricking idiot that didn't know anything about the country?

You're going to quibble 8% of a country who's entire population is 5.2 million as "clearly untrue?" Cmon dude.

The demographic shift has occurred since 1991, following a trend in Europe in general, as 1991 was the year of the Balkan wars.

Interestingly enough the girls family had been in Norway since the 1960s when visas were easier to obtain.

Haiti is such a shithole that thousands of Haitians decided to set up shop in Tijuana MX.

Let that sink in.

Yes I'm going to quibble. I've studied European immigration patterns since 2013, and have contributed reviews on the topic for minor journals. Also, if you look through my post history, I quibble about these things all the time. It's annoying but I'd argue there is a massive and meaningful difference between these percentages.

That's fine. And from a statistical perspective, irrelevant.
