Why is it just westerners/whites who are expected to cope with a changing population?
Can you imagine a scenario in which say Beijing, or Tokyo, or Jakarta, or Riyadh, or Nairobi, or Lagos, or Mumbai were filled with a foreign population that was greater than 50% of the total population for the city?
Can you imagine a scenario where any country outside the western world had demographic numbers showing that foreigners outnumbering the founding population group of the country in the sub 25 age group?
These scenarios are unimaginable and quite absurd even to ponder for anywhere outside of white countries. And yet, have you been to London? Have you looked at demographic charts?
People can raise objections to the population displacement you seem to favor without it having anything to do with "racism, scapegoating, and a general inability to cope," or "muh jerbs."
There are plenty of westerners who think, "We've got a pretty good thing going here, we've brought a lot of good to ourselves and the world as a whole. And we'd rather not see our civilization drastically altered, because a drastic altering of our civilization will impede our efforts and abilities to go on doing good for ourselves and the world."
So... where, exactly, is this supposed to be analogous to?
It is just pedantic nitpicking. The remainder of your argument still stands and is interesting to think about.
Jakarta is basically a mix of a bunch of populations. Loads of south-east Asia has a lot of immigrants (2nd, 3rd generation too) from China and other places.
Hell, China is not exactly a homogenous population either.
Not to mention lost of Europe had other ethnic populations that were overridden by people of Christendom. All those wars ends with a lot of intermingling. And of course the US committed massive genocide to make everyone "white".
Your complaint lays on some pretty false premises.
I'm living in Shanghai, and I certainly expect the Chinese to cope with my presence. It has been going well so far; at worst I get kids pointing their fingers at me. It probably helps that I'm more a curiosity than part of an invading horde.
Of course if there were a sudden influx of foreigners large enough to significantly alter the population statistics, there would probably be a strong backlash; partly due to the influence on the housing market and partly due to plain racism, but I wouldn't be more accepting of that than if it happens in the west.
Basically, I like having the opportunity of moving to any country I want, so why shouldn't the same hold for anyone who wants to come to my home country?
I am already a subject of filtering anyway (by having to get entry visas for EU & USA).
Why should your countrymen back home, the vast majority of which have no desire to emigrate, bear the cost of you being able to live in China? I'd gladly give up my opportunity to move to any country if it put a stop to and reverted the disastrous waves of immigration in western Europe of the last two decades.
The data doesn't show that there's a better solution to innate human corruption than capitalism.
I'm not going to comment one way or another on how reliance on natural resources does correlate with... unconventional government types and economic policies such as dictatorships and central planning or hypercapitalism
