My ancestors were either here before yours or came at the same time yours did. This country was never homogeneous. Had we simply treated the freedmen like human beings the country would have been better off.

Japan? Clearly no.




What some folks do is retire then move to some of these places. So make your money here first.

Thats a good point, greed and lust for money is exactly what went wrong with our country in the first place and got us where we are now.

I’m not sure what meets your stated criteria, but when I did work in the Netherlands in the80’s it was pretty solid Northern European whitehead.
It was fun to visit, but I didn’t come away with any eye opening revelation other than the women were mostly gorgeous and friendly(not the red light denizens).

MN has some of the most favorable demographics in the country, if not the world

Indeed.
Similarly so in Norway. Iceland's use of natural thermal heat is impressive. The people do seem happy.

But happiness is based on what you know ... or what you don't. Some of the happiest kids I've ever seen were in rural Kenya and Tanzania. They were living is situations no American kid would be happy about.

We visited Troldhaugen, Grieg's home in Norway. The guide was a cute bright blonde girl in her 20's hobbling in a medical boot. Turns out she had what sounded to be a nonhealing Jones Fx. She'd been in the boot ~8 months with no plans for surgery to that point. I cannot begin to tell you what awful care that constitutes. She was perfectly happy with it, because she knew nothing different.

This is why Louisiana and Mississippi consistently rank 49 and 50 for the good, and 1 and 2 for the bad and the ugly.

Buddy I don’t need to visit those places to have my eyes opened regarding the people we deal with here.

The irony.

You are invading their space no differently than you feel outsiders invade ours. They see it like that as well because they're starting to react negatively to tourism.

If a homogeneously white society can still achieve what America has, then your comment makes zero sense.

The only charitable interpretation is that its not and the only thing that saved us were the imported blacks and browns.

Personal responsibility, impulse control, timeliness, etc., etc.

He'd need to be committing crimes and getting on their welfare system in order to do that.

Be respectful and self-sufficient and all of a sudden most natives have zero issue with you.

This doesn't exist as an option in reality

That's my point

And you don't even need the gross "white" qualifier (see: Asian countries)

Many people like Japan for this. I also recommend Iceland.

I’ve been to both. They are interesting. I sure would not want to live there compared to here in the USA. But I envy their low crime.
