The wider left’s play acting that cultural change via immigration is not a valid concern only loses and alienates people rather than wins them over.

Remember, it only takes a few percent of people in the US to swing elections completely.

Culture matters to people. Whether it should or should not, it just does. Having your neighborhood or your city transformed by newcomers nothing like you is not just a concern of cackling racists. Or even of white people.

I know this automatically makes me a horrible racist — and perhaps Hitler himself — in the Manichean monocolture of the puritan left, but communities and their construction and destruction is something that people are rightly concerned with.

Denying that this matters will not help you, or them, or immigrants, or the country.
