Not for those of short attention spans, but it is much of the real story behind immigration into our Western--that means White--nations.
The upshot is, if you replace enough of the constituent parts of something--for a nation, that means the people--at what point does it cease to be the original thing, and become something else? America is a nation of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic/European heritage, with American Indians as an aboriginal people, plus others. When that heritage people lose their dominance, the identity of the "American" nation comes into question.
