"This represents a sharp rise from 2019, when just 21 percent of Republicans said that this increasing racial and ethnic diversity was threatening. Back then, Republicans said by a 48-point margin that it was actually more enriching than threatening.
So, from 21 percent in 2019, to 41 percent last year, to 55 percent today."

@wdlindsy They have no faith in USian culture. If we were half as exceptional as we thought we were, we would have nothing to fear about cultural assimilation.

@Brad_Rosenheim Well-stated. And their definition of USian culture is truncated, sanitized, unrepresentative of the rich multicultural reality.

@LazaroDTormes Absolutely. This poll shows us in real time exactly what Trump and Vance are accomplishing as they fan the flames of racist, ethnic, anti-immigrant hate in their party.

@wdlindsy Figures xenophobia would have a really soft, reasonable sounding political corollary like "nativism".
-
@tehstu Sounds right to me.

What the---?US culture grows with every new immigrant. It's because they "don't celebrate like those before them" that new immigrants bring new life and new ideas to American culture.
From Diwali, the festival of lights, to singing posadas during la Noche Buena, I'm looking forward to the next few months of celebration.

@wdlindsy this literally makes me sick. Nauseated. Have these folks read the plaque on the statue at Ellis Island?
Actually, never mind. Most of them probably don't read at all, or were taught some revisionist bullshit.
