Tribalism is a part of human nature and you engage in it, too.
It's not pretty in any circumstance.
Your assumptions about me are wrong.
It doesn't matter how the change manifests itself. People often dislike change, especially of communities they are familiar with.
Hence my point that it's not a problem with white people, but rather a condition of human beings. If a community of majority Latinos became subject to sudden white immigration, I'm sure there would be a certain amount of anxiety on the part of the original residents. I can understand and sympathize with these anxieties though.
Can you?
If you examine "may have anxiety about their communities changing", it clearly implies they think non-whites are changing their community for the worse. It also implies the community belongs to the whites, and they get to define it.
Alternatively, they could (but don't) view their community as something they share, becoming more diverse, more interesting, more inclusive, etc.
