You've heard of "regime change." Something analogous, I suppose, might be called "population displacement." Citing the Belgium weekly Le Vif/L'Express, Mark Steyn writes (April 21, 2010) posts this quote: "Brussels, overwhelmingly Muslim in 20 years? It can't be totally ruled out... Today, families with children - 'Whites' and of the middle class - are leaving the 19 municipalities of the Brussels Region, attracted by the convenience and low prices of the Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant and Hainaut provinces. The birth rates of immigrants, which is slightly higher than that of natives, and the international immigration (mainly through family reunification), compensate for this exodus and reinforces it. In reality, Brussels is experiencing what French demographer Michèle Tribalat calls a "process of demographic substitution". One population replaces another."

Sorry, what are "natives", exactly?
ReplyDeleteAnd apropos their flight from the 19 municipalities because they don't want to live among Black people, is that because they're shamed up by the fact that Black people smell of soap, or what?
Don't play ignorant, Red. You know good and well what natives are: the indigenous Belgians. Don't pull that post-colonial critique crap on us.
ReplyDeleteYou also know good and well why the indigenous Belgians are moving out. It's for the same reason that you don't live in Chinatown, Los Angeles; or Mexico Town, Detroit; or the South Side of Chicago; but rather choose to live in Red Mariaville.
