Is Large-Scale Immigration Desirable? Or Is It Undesirable Cultural Dominance?
16th August 2026
Leftists have for years decried American Thanksgiving, mostly because they assert that the holiday celebrates the arrival of “white” Europeans in North America, which was bad because of the impact that arrival had on the pre-existing population of people in North America. Such leftists also assert that Christopher Columbus should be “canceled” because his exploratory travel from Spain paved the way for the migration of “white” Europeans to North America.
Yet, the family lineage of many of these leftists traces their presence in North America to times much more recent than the 17th century. For example, Ms. Hong’s family arrived in North America (from Korea) only a few decades ago. Why was it wrong for Europeans to come to North America in the 17th century, disrupting the pre-existing local population, yet acceptable or even laudatory, for Ms. Hong’s Korean family to come to North America in the 20th century, and in its own way disrupt the pre-existing local population?
