Ireland's Autogenocide

@Jolly said in Ireland's Autogenocide:
England and Ireland saw a pretty large influx of Polish workers and their families, but the essential culture remained the same.
Same in the US - Germans, Italians, etc. Even Chinese.
One could say that the Chinese are a bit more isolationist than the others I mentioned, but assimilation occurs anyway. Can you say that about the current crop of migrants in the UK?
Why not?

What's wrong with non-European foreigners gradually replacing Europeans in England? You don't complain about the Europeans replacing the Native American in the Americas or the Europeans replacing the aboriginals in Australia.
You ask why there is reduced assimilation. Are you sure there really is reduced assimilation? A fair comparison would compare first generation to first generation, take into account lengths of time after immigration. Makes no sense comparing first generations who have immigrated for 20 years to third generations whose families have migrated 80 years ago.

What's wrong with the Europeans conguering East Asia, in particular China and destroying Chinese culture?

I doubt very much that the Irish will surrender themselves or their ancestral Island home to any migrants let alone Muslim migrants.
Same goes for the United Kingdom.
While I don't doubt it's a problem, when I actually visit the UK, which I do on a fairly regular basis, it doesn't appear to be nearly as dire a crisis as some American "conservatives" would have us believe.
Genocide is a funny word to use.

You mean sloppy thinking and gossipy pseudo-conservatives.
And I agree genocide is strange word to use. A word that is too often used inappropriately as of late.

Many parts of East Asia have indeed been conquered by Europeans. Do you think that's wrong?
Mainland Chinese have adopted many elements of European cultures, including Marxism and socialism, Rock & Roll, Western classical music, Western pop music, Hollywood movies, they write with pens and pencils as opposed to ink brushes, their women prefer diamond engagement rings and white wedding gowns, ... you have a problem with that?

Most significantly, Japan while retaining its traditional culture has adopted and embraced Western liberal governance. South Korea and Taiwan are not that far behind the Japanese in adopting the same in while still retaining their own cultural traditions and identity.
