Is this a joke? The US went from 83.5% white in 1970, to 57.8% in 2020 [1], mainly due to immigration. How many other countries can you point to where the former majority population went from overwhelming majority, to the brink of minority status, in 60 years - less than a lifetime?
If this is "closed", then what on earth would be needed to be called "open"??

For example, in the US public discourse you wouldn't find any notion of White Christian Liberal Democracy; if there is any, it is usually thoroughly denied by its alleged supporters and it is allegedly wrapped into layers of dog whistles and innuendos.
I didn't want to make any explicit comparisons because they are going to be crude and lacking in their form and content due to the complexity of the topic and the short format of the comment section. So, of course, one can say that the parallels I draw are inadequate and so on because reasons, but the existence of that distinction is kind of my point.

That's the context of the "Statement of Jewish scientists". It is not a statement of Israeli scientists, it is not a statement of American scientists. It is not a statement of scientists qua scientists. So that's what grabbed my attention and what I commented on.
US, just as an example, embeds a lot of racism, sexism, futile wars in the last decades, and is closed regarding inmigration comparing it to Canada. Other countries as well, so it is great to compare them along many dimensions.
