‘White people aren’t supremacists for wanting to their homelands preserved’

A man on X has gone viral for defending legendary mixed martial artist Conor McGregor and other Irishmen who are frustrated by the rampant immigration affecting their home country.

Appearing in the White House briefing room on Monday, McGregor alleged that Ireland is “on the cusp of losing its Irishness” because of an “illegal immigration racket” that’s overrunning the country.

“Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland,” he said. “The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country.”

His otherwise sensible remarks triggered a massive backlash from the deranged left, including from Ireland’s own leftist leaders, with critics calling McGregor and those who agree with him racists.

But responding to this backlash in a video published late Monday, life coach and 2012 Harvard University graduate Kaizen D. Asiedu, a black man, argued that neither McGregor nor his supporters are at all racist.

“Can I say something without people getting mad?” he began. “It’s OK for countries to not wants lots of immigrants. Conor McGregor and the Irishmen who want less immigration in Ireland aren’t all racist. They just want the people that they have to be taken care of before taking in new people. And they want Ireland to feel Irish.”

“Ireland went from being 8 percent non-Irish to 24 percent in just 20 years. There’s been a spike in asylum seekers from Ukraine, Africa, and the Middle East. Some of them are living in tents in parks, and it’s exacerbating the housing crisis in Ireland. U.K. and Germany, whose foreign-born populations have increased by 77 percent over the last 20 years, are also struggling with mass migration,” he added.

As a result of all this, Asiedu continued, Europe’s right-wing parties are understandably increasingly growing in popularity and power. The same thing has happened in the U.S., where the Republican Party now controls the White House, the House, and the Senate.

Reaching his core point, he then took a moment to note that there’s nothing innately wrong with immigrants — but that tolerating endless immigration isn’t conducive to a nation’s survival.

“Pro-immigration advocates tend to focus on the fact that immigrants are just humans that want a better life, and they’re right,” he said. “But empathy without practicality is suicide.”

The only way to fight back is to speak out, but the problem is many people are afraid to do exactly that because of the smears.

“Here’s the thing — people have been silent about it, and I think it’s because many white people who aren’t racist are afraid of being called racist,” he said. “Many of them feel so guilty about what their ancestors did in the past that they’re over-correcting for it now. And the media is making it worse by calling everyone far-right, which is basically a curse word now. No one wants to be called far-right, because who’s actually far-right. That’s right — Nazis. And once you’re called far-right, the label white supremacist is sure to follow.”

“This shuts down honest debate and hurts everyone. Because think about it — why do we like to travel? So that we can experience different cultures. No one wants to go to France and eat escargot but not hear the French language. No one wants to go to England and see Big Ben but not hear British accents. Cultures are cool, and if we don’t preserve cultures in their homelands, those countries will become theme parks that feel all the same,” he added.

But this isn’t just a white people thing, Asiedu stressed. It affects all people and all cultures. Take for instance Bali.

“Bali has had a massive influx of Russian and Ukrainian refugees, and the place has changed,” he said. “Now I’m glad that those people found somewhere to stay, but don’t you also want Balinese culture to stay? America’s a bit different because it’s a melting pot, but even in a melting pot, you still need to be intentional about what ingredients you add, in what amounts, and when. And the more different the new ingredients are, the more intentional you need to be.”

“If you add Middle Eastern ingredients to a European dish, you need to be intentional about it — just like if you add European ingredients to a Middle Eastern dish. The right amount of immigration isn’t zero, but it’s also not infinity, and people can’t find the right amount if everyone is afraid of being labeled a far-right racist just for talking about it. And if we don’t learn to have these conversations in good faith, we’re not going to just lose Western cultures. we’re going to lose the idea of culture,” he concluded.
