My Question: What if the demand for "Forced inclusion/ tolerance" from the West is actually a Trojan horse to destroy or change the Western world itself? By Who ? I Dunno, maybe by Lord Enlil ๐ '?'
What if the demand for "inclusive tolerance" from the West is actually a Trojan horse meant to undermine or change the West itself? As a non-Caucasian person who has lived here and has been a 2nd generation familiar in these parts, I’ve often encountered hostility, but, surprisingly, much of the discrimination I've faced hasn’t come from those native to the West.
Instead, it has come from fellow migrants or descendants of migrants—people who are also so called minorities. I’ve noticed that many of these individuals display a certain disregard for my African, black humanity, which sometimes feels even more pronounced than the racism we expect from so-called native citizens.
I don't say this to excuse any real issues with racism in the West. There are, of course, racist elements within native populations. But in my personal experience, it's often those who share a migration background—whether they're second, third, or even fourth generation—who have caused me the most hardship.
One has to ask, why? Why is there this internalized racism among some fellow migrants, and why do they often seem more hostile than the very people we traditionally associate with racism in the West? Perhaps it's because they use other migrants as emotional punching bags. Or, in some cases, they harbor unresolved trauma from their own ancestral or personal experiences, having faced persecution in their home countries. This could explain their overzealous display of hostility towards others, almost as if continuing a cycle of abuse that drove them to leave their countries of origin in the first place.
Take, for example, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Nigerian woman who publicly called for Igbo people working in healthcare globally to poison fellow Africans. This type of mindset taints not just her reputation but that of her entire ethnic group.
If a Nigerian patient were poisoned in a hospital in the U.S. or Canada, no one would suspect this internal conflict because of assumed racial solidarity. This is a deeply troubling issue and proves the complexity of race relations not just between native and migrant populations, but within migrant communities themselves.
In another instance, the first person to ever call the police on me in this country was not a native citizen but another African migrant. She falsely assumed that the police would side with her because of unexplainable sudden wealth. In the end, the police apologized to me for the unnecessary trouble, but her actions could have caused significant harm.
We also see the contradictions in prominent migrants like Elon Musk, originally from South Africa, now one of the wealthiest men in the world. Despite being a migrant himself, Musk has been accused of promoting disinformation about immigrants, making life harder for other migrants. Even someone like David Duke, a notorious figure with a history of white supremacist rhetoric, wouldn't dream of wielding anti-immigrant rhetoric with such global impact.
There are communities and ethnic groups in the West that criticize others for being racist, while simultaneously keeping their own workplaces or social circles tightly racially exclusive. This kind of hypocrisy—claiming to support multiculturalism while practicing exclusionary behavior—calls into question the true nature of the multicultural ideals that we often champion.
Multiculturalism can benefit society, but it should never be used as a tool to undermine or destroy the West. Many of the same individuals who criticize the West often come from societies with their own deep-seated issues of racism and exclusion. If given the opportunity, they would impose even harsher conditions on minorities in their own countries.
Therefore, we must be cautious. Not all criticism of multiculturalism is rooted in racism, and some concerns raised by those in the West may indeed be valid. The key is to maintain a balanced approach to multiculturalism that encourages genuine tolerance without becoming a vehicle for hypocrisy or division.
I Repeat My Examples for Further Clarification:
Elon Musk has faced criticism for his stance on immigration, particularly regarding misinformation spread through social media, which negatively affects public perceptions of migrants. Despite his own migrant background, his actions have been viewed as contributing to anti-immigrant sentiments.
The incident with Amaka Patience Sunnberger illustrates how internal conflicts within migrant communities can have global ramifications. Her call for violence against fellow Nigerians reflects deeper issues within some migrant populations, which are often overlooked in broader discussions of racism.
In certain businesses and communities within the West, we see ethnic enclaves that are highly exclusive, even while members of these groups champion multiculturalism in public discourse. This kind of internal racism or exclusion, often overlooked, PROVES the hypocrisy / complexity of race relations in some so called multicultural societies.
