I 90% maybe more agree with this. I mean can south Africa and what is happening to Sweden and any of our 20% black cities in America be a better example.
But their is something to the land the pride people take in having a beutiful back ground knowing your ancestors picked that place to build that instills pride and it becomes a thing it gave encouragement to the people to defend it and feel great when they get back to it. Homeland means something.
But the original point is absolutely true.
I was in England and asked an old English gentleman if all the Indians and Muslims were replaced with Japanese would he feel the same about immigrants he laughed and said ohhhh no the Japanese would have made England better in almost every regard.

The Old Oak Tree
There was this HUGE oak tree that grew next to the beginning of the road that I grew up on. The road forked and the old oak stood in the fork. It was one of those trees with character. Huge, gnarly, giant limbs reaching out all around it. I never really thought much about it. It was just always there and had been my whole life. I went away for a few years. When I reached the fork in the road the tree was gone! Someone had cut it down! I hadn't realized how much that would bother me. I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was like learning that an old friend had passed away! I almost teared up a little. This is just a small example of how the land can be important to the people who live in it their whole lives.
That's the point. They would rather rule over Nigerians than Norwegians. Nigerians accept corruption without exception. They are trading over their breed of cattle.
