White Americans may view diversity and multiculturalism more negatively as the U.S. moves toward becoming a minority-majority nation, UCLA psychologists report.
As part of their study, the researchers divided 98 white Americans from all regions of the country — half male, half female, with an average age of 37 — randomly into two groups. One group was told that whites will no longer be the majority in the U.S. by 2050; in fact, this is likely to be true as soon as 2043, according to some projections. The second group was told that whites would retain their majority status in the U.S. through at least 2050. All participants were then asked a series of questions about their views on diversity.
“Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time,” said Yuen Huo, UCLA professor of psychology and the study’s senior author.

If whites are so "horrible", then why do we see so many people with darker skin continually trying to move into white-majority communities?
You see black people trying to move into poor white neighborhoods?
Really?
I don't see them doing that at all.
Which neighborhoods are these?
Because the people how have actually researched it found that equally poor white and black neighborhoods have essentially equally high rates of crime. [washington.edu] They also found that mixed neighborhoods had lower crime rates than all white neighborhoods of similar economic means.

Yes, blacks move into poor white neighborhoods constantly.
Typical American neighborhoods, both urban and suburban, have followed a pretty consistent trend for many decades now. Relatively wealthy or middle class whites have initially built these communities. As the structures age, the wealthier of the whites move on to build new homes and buildings in other areas. The middle class Americans tend to follow shortly after. Poorer whites move in next. Due to the age of the structures, property values tend to drop over time. Eventually it becomes affordable enough for blacks to move into these white communities. This often involves an influx of gang activity, violence, substance abuse, and all of the other horrible stuff that we find in so-called "ghettos". The poor white people leave, because they don't want to put up with this. Now what was once a long-time white community has become a black community.
It doesn't matter what region of the US you're in, this pattern has held true in New York, Washington D.C., L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and even places like Seattle and Minneapolis.

And its not like there's any correlation between poverty and crime; its because of their skin color that they're criminals! You can tell everything about a man by looking at the color of his skin, right? And its up to us, the honorable white man, to enslave the negros for their own good, to force them to be civilized, though we must still be on constant watch, for the negro man has the tendency to fly into a rage and rape white women.
