That slope is looking mighty slippery.

The First Amendment is the most important part of the Bill of Rights. Modern liberals would love to get rid of it

From the article:
The most well known study in this literature is Putnam (2007). Putnam, a Harvard political scientist, analyzed a set of over 40 regions across the united states and looked at how ethnic diversity related to various measures of “social capital”. He built a regression model that held regional differences in age, poverty, crime, and other variables, constant and found that the more ethnically diverse a region was the lower its level of social capital was. In particular, Putnam found that the more diverse a community was the less trust residents reported having in their neighbors, the less people trusted local government and media, the less people voted, the less people gave to charity, the less people worked on community projects, and the fewer friends people had. Perhaps most strikingly, people in diverse communities were less happy overall and less satisfied with their lives.

I can give you many more statistics if you want.
Affirmative action. Google "long march through the institutions". Does anyone think SJWs don't hate white people? I can rant about Jews later as well if you really want, but I'm in public atm.

We will be hated assuming we allow ourselves to become a minority. If we continue allowing Mexicans to pour in, that's more votes against free speech. Thus it would be dystopian and Orwellian. When Americans don't present a relatively united front against the government, do you think the government will not take advantage and erode our freedoms further? Minorities vote Democrat, so we will lose the second amendment once we're a minority. Without the First and Second Amendments, freedom is done.
I can provide many more examples, and will do so if you wish, but I'm in public
