It's the demographic shift that is driving poorly educated whitey t christian to terrorism
Just once, I made the mistake of confirming that yes, I am Jewish, and asking why the commenter wanted to know.
His response to me was chilling: “Because you think multiculturalism is a good thing. Jews are always trying to replace white people with trash from somewhere else.”
I have since learned that my charming social media correspondent was parroting a racist, right-wing ideology known as “replacement theory.” It asserts that falling birthrates among white women combined with immigration will lead to the eventual replacement of the white race with people of color. It’s also called “white genocide.”
And just this weekend, the man who murdered 21 people in an El Paso, TX shopping mall referenced replacement theory, writing in his manifesto that he was defending his country “from cultural and ethnic replacement” brought on by a supposed “Hispanic invasion.” He then expanded upon his thinking, calling for segregating the country into ethnostates to prevent race mixing and writing that “2nd and 3rd generation Hispanics form interracial unions at much higher rates than average. Yet another reason to send them back.”
This bit especially jumped out at me, as a third generation American Latina, born of an interracial marriage between a Latina mother and a Jewish father. I’m the classic American mixed kid story, which makes me their worst nightmare and their ideology a threat to my existence.
This belief system is not rare, nor is it coming from the fringes. Just last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress that the majority of domestic terrorism cases the Bureau is currently tracking are motivated by white nationalism, and much of the El Paso shooter’s rhetoric mirrors talking points that the current President of the United States has either uttered or signal boosted on his Twitter account.
