Lots of people have bought in and I do truly believe there has been a "takeover"

Let's say a "takeover" does happen on a large scale. The US was 90% white 100 years ago; it's 60% now. Let's say the drop accelerates and whites are below 10% here and in Europe 100 years from now. Would you be completely agnostic to that development?

Are you REALLY trying to make a "changing demographics" with such an incredibly small population?
It's not the total number today, but the percentage change over time. The population of Indians is essentially doubling every decade since the 1980's. In 50 years, they will increase from about 1 out of every 65 Americans to between 1 in 40 and 1 in 20, depending on how immigration policy works out over that time.

God hates prejudice because it questions His creation.
quote:

My friends, as believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, you must never treat people in different ways according to their outward appearance...You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' But if you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin." (James 2:1, 8-9, GNT).
So, strictly speaking, yes. But Christianity doesn't require you to ignore behavior, circumstances, or experience when exercising judgment or caution. The distinction is between judging someone by what they actually do and judging an individual merely because of their racial or ethnic group they belong to.

A couple of million people in concentrated areas won't feel negligible at all.

Texas has about 540k in the entire state, #2 in the nation. #1 is California with approaching 1M. Both states are massive, geographically.

Only around 5.2- 5.5M people of Indian orgin/descent live in the US

There is no state with millions, let alone a concentrated area with millions

If you live in a quintessential US suburb like Frisco with 25-33% Indian population that feels like 50%+ when you're out driving around, I think it's pretty self explanatory.

Frisco is one suburb of one metro area.

quote:

very visible American suburbs are changing their demographics and character over relatively short periods and none of the natives were really ever given meaningful ability to weigh in on it.

1. This changes the discussion

2. Do you think people (Via government, I presume) should have the power to prevent specific ethnicities from moving into an area?

No, you should love them for who they are. That’s what Christ would have done (as written in the Bible.)

Surely you realize how much worse that makes the picture look. Right?

That's due to Latinos/hispanics and low birthrates of white people.

Indians are in no way relevant to that shift.

And Latinos/Hispanics are people of Western Culture. They're just brown people of Western Culture.

How would that happen?

Yes it should. God created us the way he did for a reason. We are different peoples because God created us that way. If He wanted us to all be one homogenous brown blob, we would be.

Above race though is having a Christian society with Christlike values. We should be spreading these values to the world, not inviting the world here to dilute our Christian values. Indians are not coming here and adopting Christianity and western values. They come here, create their own Indian communities, embed themselves into companies and organizations where they take care of their own at the expense of other peoples. They are not becoming American, they are recreating India in north America using infrastructure built by white Americans. It is NOT anti Christian to oppose this

What we have now is people using the importation of these people to enrich and empower themselves at the expense of their neighbor. This is immoral, it is sinful, God will judge it.

You can run demographic estimates via AI. They never support these "takeover" theories.

What happens then is people shift the critical breakeven point to a miniscule amount (typically around 5-6%)

Ask this question to any race besides white people.

Their race (by itself) isn’t relevant. There are plenty of people all sorts of races I’d rather be neighbors with than about 40% of the white people in this country. Their collective assimilation (or not) into US culture and voting habits (very left) is very relevant.

Which people?

You mean the one from UT where, if you look at the whole crowd, you see how small this one group is in the total crowd?

Or you mean "the picture" metaphorically? If so...no, I don't see how such low numbers makes the picture look worse. It makes PERCEPTION of a population who is particularly susceptible to online dishonesty amplified, sure. This is a great example of that specific phenomena.

I love when atheists try to preach to us. Loving others doesnt mean supporting any and everyone invading the land of your neighbor.

I would have thought you would have figured out by now that I'm not interested in responding to any of the stupid shite you post. It seems you're even dumber than your posts suggest.

Tell us how demographics have shifted in the US in the last 60 years.

Spoiler: every race has increased, except white which has dropped by 25-30%.

I didn't say anything about a "takeover". I only commented about concern for a growing number of people who are importing non-Christian religion. That was in contrast to concern over skin color, which I said doesn't matter.

How much have blacks increased?

Asians have increased nominally, but the shift is predominantly Latino/Hispanic population growth. They're a race/ethnicity of Western Culture, so I don't get the big deal.
