Sorry but I don’t see a problem with what he said. He’s not supporting Europeans to be xenophobic or anti-immigrant. Just to be mindful that too much will lead Europe to being a non-European continent. 

Do you realize that’s the fate of the world and humanity? globalization homie. 

 

That is if Mother Nature doesn’t wipe us off soon.

It's not the fate of the world or humanity, it's the fate of Europe. China will still be Chinese, India will still be Indian and Africa will still be African etc. But Europe will not be European but somehow that's okay?

When Europeans invaded every land they set foot upon (the entire world almost), and raped, stole, and permanently disrupted the political environment in all the areas it was ok.

Some migrants come to Europe: Oh my! Globalization will end modern civilization!

No sane person thinks that's okay.

The Europeans at the time did. And Europe still benefits from it.

Europe will be Europe just fine  your type of people will continue to **** their own since you seem to find it wrong to mix cultures so don't worry, r̶a̶c̶i̶s̶t̶s̶  culture preservers will ensure that white people stay ****ing white people  

This also reminds me of when interracial relationships were so opposed by white folks back in the day because it will mAKE whiTE PeoPLe a MinORity

No, that was not okay. But you do realize that the vast majority of Europeans living in Europe, their ancestors were not apart of the colonization and conquest etc. Hence why they are in Europe and not living in North America with generations that have lived there for hundreds of years.

Of course not, Europe sent their criminals and unwanted peoples to invade their new lands.

It's never a good thing when a group of people takes over a country or a continent. And lol at some of you using colonization as an argument for why that's okay. Try turning that argument around; how can you complain about colonization and at the same time believe that it's okay for muslims and africans to "take over" european countries? not that it's likely to ever happen anyway. 

Anyway I don't think what Dalai Lama is saying is correct, it won't happen anytime in the near future at least. But as I said in an earlier post, it would be problematic if that happened.

They aren't taking over Europe, that's the point.

Europe still benefits from colonization. Not to mention all the stolen culture.

Oh yiiiikes 

And so what if it does? Humans have been migrating all over the earth since we evolved, why wouldn’t we continue to do so??

I think his argument refers to cultures, not individual human-beings. 

Of course, any human should be able to live in any part of the world... but there are cultural limitations to that freedom.

For example, if Europe were to become majority Muslim (60/40) - culturally, since the continent would likely have sharia law by the point of this ridiculously unlikely (but let's go with it, anyway!) scenario, the minority 40% of the population would not be able to live freely. 

And I think that is possibly the point that is being made here. It isn't to say that Europe shouldn't have Muslim citizens (of course it should) - it's to say that - hypothetically - if Europe were to have a majority that follow sharia / Islamic law... the cultural and legislative impact that would have on the continent would be quite damaging. 

And my point about culture vs. human is that if Europe were to become majority Muslim, but those Muslims *did not* believe in sharia law (or at least, some of the more extreme values it promotes) - there would be absolutely no problem with Europe becoming more Muslim. It's not about the people, it's about how different interpretations of culture may clash. 

All humans should be free. But culture and religion, in some scenarios, ultimately inhibit that freedom. 

Spoiler

Clearly, there is no issue with muslims in Europe or in any other Western country. The *vast* majority do not believe in radical teachings surrounding women or gay people, for example.

Yeah, and that's not a good thing.
