Cultural Aggression against European Americans
The huge increase of immigrants to the U.S. has caused an increase of aggression
against European Americans. This aggression appears in schools in the form of violence and fights over curricula.
It is echoed in the literature of immigrant organizations, and even in statements by foreign government officials.
As for America, the increasing anti-European American sentiment among immigrant groups is tied to their increasing
numbers...and to human nature. The Fall
1997 Social Contract published an article by British author Derek Turner, entitled
"The Anguish and the Angst. Immigration and the Western world", an article which describes some effects
of immigration on western societies: "The quantity of immigrants is the single most important cause of inter-ethnic
tension..."
"Furthermore, once immigrants become...viable for self-sufficiency, they are more likely to become inward-looking
and more confident - even to the point of arrogance. This can easily be seen in those countries of the Western
world where...aggressive multiculturalism holds sway. It is easier to retreat into one's ancestral culture than
to take a step into the blue and attempt to join the mainstream. And once immigrants recede into their own group,
and away from a common national culture, their differentiating characteristics are noticed and acted upon more
often, by themselves and others. New layers of misunderstanding are built up; soon the ghettoes become permanent
fixtures, and a new social schism is opened."
"Sometimes the alienation is so severe that the immigrants become de facto foes of the host society, sworn...
to rebuild society in their own image. Their drive for equality has become a drive for superequality, and their
feelings of moral duty have become feelings of moral superiority."
In the United States, some extremist and divisive Hispanics, both immigrant and American-born, are exhibiting the
trends described by Turner. One of the worst examples is MEChA (Movemiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), a group
that advocates the Mexican takeover of the Western United States. Their description of the 1996 Republican Convention
in San Diego was described in Voz Fronteriza, their student publication at U.C. San Diego:
"Every Mexicano must become an enemy of the colonial settler state. Genocidal attacks against us escalated
with the English-only movement. The police are glorified armies of occupation. The English-speaking settlers are
trying to completely marginalize us by denying us a cultural and historical understanding of who we are - and the
concentration camps are ready to [be used] against us. This is our homeland. We must create the revolutionary clandestine
formations that will defend our people and lead to our ultimate national liberation struggle and the socialist
reunification of Mexico. Let us create the conditions for the Mexican intifada."
Mexico had possession of the lands in question for a mere 26 years (1822-1848), before which Spain owned the territories.
Does that give everyone in Spain a right to a territorial claim to the United States?
Even more outrageous than the rantings of MECHhA, were statements made by Jose Angel Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul
General to the U.S. In a 2/6/98 speech at the Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, he claimed
"Mexico has put in their constitution that Mexicans won't lose their Mexican nationality (when taking other
citizenship), so those who 'lost their rights' will recover them. We are practicing reconquista in California!"
Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad spoke similar words as Osuna when he gave a 5/5/97 speech to a meeting
of the Southern Africa International Dialog at Kasane, Botswana:
"The North can gain much by recolonizing. But we do have the ultimate weapon. People are more mobile now.
They can go anywhere. In a borderless world we can go anywhere. If we are not allowed a good life in our countries,
if we are going to be global citizens, then we should migrate North. We should migrate North in our millions, legally
or illegally. Masses of Asians and Africans should inundate Europe and America. If there is any strength that we
have, it is in the numbers. Three-fourths of the world is either black, brown, yellow, or some combination of all
these. We will make all nations in the world rainbow nations."
"This is how we will ultimately challenge globalization. I hope we don't have to resort to this. But we will
if we are not allowed a piece of the action, a piece of the cake; if we are not allowed to prosper in a borderless
world."
Unfortunately, the United States currently does not have a President that will confront people like Mohamad and
Osuna. The media would likely label Mr. Clinton a 'racist' for harshly rebutting the above speech.
In our schools, the immigrant explosion has led to attacks on European
Americans. The 9/18/97 San Jose Mercury News ran a story "Asian Pride: Clique or Gang? Fear is rising that
some of the best Asian-American students have turned cultural pride into violence." The article reported that
'parachute kids' (foreign teenagers, mainly from Asia, that come to America to get a free education from our public
schools) are numerous in Asian gangs that reside in the U.S. The article states:
"The multi-ethnic group of Asian-Americans has been linked to at least six beatings or attempted beatings
since last fall, San Jose police detective Marty Hogan said. No charges against Asian Pride members were filed,
he added, because alleged victims were afraid of repercussions."
"Almost every incident involving Asian Pride fits the same pattern: A member who is picked on by a non-Asian
classmate asks to meet his antagonist after school for a "one-on-one" fistfight. Dozens of members, signaling
one another with pagers and cellular phones, then surprise the bully and beat him up, Hogan said."
It's interesting that the Mercury's Asian author, Ariana E. Cha, labels non-Asians as 'bullies', when it's the
Asians involved in gang warfare. More from the article:
"...students said many Asian Pride members have taken to shunning white acquaintances and harassing Asian-Americans
who hang out with whites...Asian Pride has divided friends, pitted parent against parent and heightened racial
tensions at the four high schools where it has a strong presence."
" "The tensions grow stronger each year", said Lynbrook senior Christi Merrick, 17, who is white.
She said she knows of about a dozen fights last school year between white and Asian-American students."
"Police first hear of Asian Pride in the spring of 1995 when a white football player at Lynbrook reported
that an Asian-American student had held a gun on him....A few weeks later, about 20 Asian-American teens allegedly
jumped two white classmates at a Burger King in Saratoga..."
"The West Valley's 'parachute children' are the most likely to find comfort in racially segregated groups,
Monta Vista counselor Kathryn Ho said."
" "You can imagine someone here on the campus who is so new and doesn't understand the culture, the language,"
said Ho..."This is how they get their self-worth. This is how they get to feel part of a family." "
The four high schools referenced in the Mercury News article have seen their Asian populations explode due to immigration.
These high schools are in close proximity to each other, in west San Jose, Cupertino, and Saratoga. The article
published the numbers showing the racial changes:
Homestead High School
----------------------------
1981-82: 10% Asian, 83% European American
1996-97: 31% Asian, 53% European American
Lynbrook High
-----------------
1981-82: 7% Asian, 85% European American
1996-97: 49% Asian, 45% European American
Monta Vista High
--------------------
1981-82: 6% Asian, 89% European American
1996-97: 49% Asian, 45% European American
Saratoga High
----------------
1981-82: 6% Asian, 92% European American
1996-97: 40% Asian, 56% European American
The marked increase in recent immigration to these schools has drastically reduced their quality and increased
tensions, resulting in decreased quality of education for the native European American population and all other
elements of the student body.
Even though solid evidence of the most abrasive kinds of verbal and social actions against European Americans has
been reported, the burden of maintaining good relations and social amicability is always placed on the American-born
of European descent in such a way as to smear the character of all European Americans.
In general, European Americans are warm-hearted, generous and diverse people who welcome new-comers. But when new-comers
engage in aggressive actions (whether verbal, physical or intellectual) against European Americans, we explicitly
reject any suggestion that it is the European Americans who bear the responsibility for the social discord on any
level whatsoever. The burden rests with the new-comers to find ways and means of accommodating the concerns of
the long-term residents, just as it would be the burden on European American immigrants to China, India or Japan
to accommodate the reasonable concerns of the people residing in those countries.
