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.

This is my main problem, and departure, from modern liberalism.
Yep, modern liberalism is going down the tubes. They've turned their backs on important issues like equal rights for women and homosexuals because they think it's more important that we be friendly with, and import as many ultra-conservative Muslims into our society as possible, even though Islam is utterly opposed to these issues. Basically, modern liberalism has turned into a hate platform, hating Christianity and western culture, and in turn being friendly with everything that's opposed to those things, namely ultra-conservative, ultra-religious middle eastern culture. It's really a shame, because we were making great progress in getting away from loony religious ideas (Christian or otherwise), and making society equal for and tolerant of women and homosexuals, but now the liberals want to destroy it all in their quest to ally themselves with conservative Muslims.
Hint: when a Muslim rapes a woman and a western judge lets him off saying "he couldn't help himself because our culture is too different", that's modern liberalism.

Wow. That you think that has actually happened suggests mental illness on your part.

There's nothing in that link that even suggests a Muslim raped a woman and got off scot-free due to a liberal judge saying,
Victim blaming does happen, but its primarily, if not exclusively, a conservative thing. To suggest that the actions of conservatives are due to liberals is just lies and propaganda.

Hhhm. I guess my ability to detect obviously contradictory statements in a post is not up to the task.
Could you help me with that by pointing out where the post is internally inconsistent?
