The systemic white genocide isn't really a thing. Sure, there is political violence against whites in Africa, but South Africa ain't anywhere near the worst offender there, and the rate of violence there is comparable to the rate of political violence against LGBT in the US, so if you're going to call the political violence in South Africa white genocide, you shouldn't object to calling Musk genocidal for his transphobic views.

More to the point, though, even talking about it as a genocide is really about cheapening the definition of genocide and denying the existence of problems that don't affect one or the community one lives in by drawing false equivalencies.

    • > In France, it's about 63%.

      How do you even measure that? What counts as French?

      (I'm reminded of this from the first page of a famous novel: La race, ce que t’appelles comme ça, c’est seulement ce grand ramassis de miteux dans mon genre, chassieux, puceux, transis, qui ont échoué ici poursuivis par la faim, la peste, les tumeurs et le froid, venus vaincus des quatre coins du monde. Ils ne pouvaient pas aller plus loin à cause de la mer. C’est ça la France et puis c’est ça les Français.)

Curious if you can point to references to systemic white genocide. I must be ignorant of it.

    • Basic human rights?

      White people in these countries are, on average, more educated and have better access to contraceptives and abortifacients. These countries also have strong women's rights and are currently going through shaky times where many are concerned about economy and the future (climate change). In America, especially, since the costs for birth and childcare are just incomprehensible.

      This is result of a radical change in culture over the past 100 years from women being properly to fully-fledged humans who are allowed the same careers as men and the ability to say "no". Europe still had countries where raping your spouse was not a crime in the 90s.

      On top of that, many men are becoming politically incompatible to women. Figureheads like Andrew Tate spread brain rot that men are owed relationships and encourage that they demonstrate the worst concepts of masculinity imaginable. So gen-z and onwards have a disproportionate number of women outright repulsed by the men on offer.

      So white women are increasingly pursuing happiness through careers and friends and hobbies instead. They're not dating men they don't want. And they're not having kids until they feel ready and/or safe, if they ever want to.

      Other minorities tend to be less educated, have worse access to required medical care, or still have social pressures being applied to them / differences in culture. So they have more children.

      What would you do? Force them into marriages they don't want and impregnate them against their will? This is how freedom works.

    • I'd like to think that you know what the word genocide means — and how it does not at all describe gains in one "race" versus another.

      I'm left not understanding your point then. I should be afraid because humans with one shade of skin are populating faster than humans with another?
