I was with you until you suddenly got racist for no reason.
Why does economics immediately become a zero-sum game when immigrants are involved? What does China have to do with America's changing culture?

And, due to the way trade works, China's rise has changed how folks in the USA value and purchase goods. I'm sorry if this feels racist to you, but I can't fix you.
This is ridiculous.
What exactly about GP's comment suggests that they believe that some people are inferior by virtue of their race?
People have become waaaay to adept at pulling the victimhood card as soon as something either doesn't fit their narrative or disadvantages them. It needs to stop.
B. Not really sure what China's middle class has to do with America's middle class, but OK.
C. I think the modern leftist victim complex is a load of hogwash and I don't think immigrants are always a good thing.
Immigrants do not add "minimal demand", immigrants drive significant demand and expand communities, for example, bloomberg reporting that gas prices dropping may have a contributing factor that immigrants driving less this summer.
Lastly, our use of technology means that nothing is a zero sum game, we have created industries and growth through the use of various pulses of migrants and they are one of the core pieces of american success.
An migrant worker creates less demand than a native doing the same job, because they're trying to live austerely and remit as much of their income as they possibly can out of our economy and back to their family's. They aren't building out water and power homesteading our uninhabitable scrub, they're living ten to an apartment near the few jobs.
